I give the basic Aldol Condensation mechanism using benzaldehyde and acetophenone as the examples, and the basic Aldehyde + ketone format. Good for a quick review!
Remember Aldol condensations almost always give more than one product unless there is some kind of hindrance.
Lovely - good for revision or first time :-)

6:11 aren't hydroxides poor leaving groups?...wouldn't the hydroxide need to be taken off with water...?

Your tautomerization step around 6:00 isn't really necessary. The electrons from the broken C-H bond could just form the double bond between carbons 2 and 3 immediately after carbon 2 was deprotonated.
