The benefits of observing an autopsy?

I am currently enrolled in A&P class with lab. We do work with cadavers but I would like to observe an autopsy as well.
The cadavers we use are a few months old and have already been dissected; tissues are discolorated from time and/or preservants and look kind of dehydrated, perhaps there are other changes as well, so it would be nice to see what they looked like shortly after death.
 
My paramedic class was required to go the NYC medical examiner's office. I watched 2 autopsies.

That sucks, I wanted to wait until after I finished A&P 2 before I went again. It's definitely a very cool museum though for anyone that has the opportunity to visit before it gets closed.
