HCC146 through RIO Salado

Published

Has anyone taken HCC146 medical terminology for healthcare workers? I need this for the EVIT program. I am planning on taking it with Rio Salado online but I am wondering what to expect? How difficult was this class? I am trying to figure out if I will be able to juggle it right now. TIA for your responses. :loveya:

I just wrote something but I think it was all too confusing so I'll try again.

You have to read several chapters a week and there is 1 graded "quiz" per week on the terminology in the chapters you were assigned.

After the 3rd week you have the mid-term which is like 3 or 4 quizes of stuff on all 10 or 11 chapters you read.

The good news is that it's all at-home, so while it's important to know everything for the sake of your career, nothing is stopping you from checking your book to make sure you are right.. heehee.

You have only 1 chance to take the quiz after you open it. Don't open the quiz unless you are READY to take it!

It's do-able, a lot of stuff to memorize though!

Is the final taken at home also, or do you have to go to the testing center:?

I took this class recently with Rio, and I had to go to the testing center for the final. However, final had all the questions from quizzes and a few from the last chapters that you have not bee tested on. It was super easy and I was done in 10 minutes.

Hint...print or copy/paste your quizzes before you submit them...correct any wrong answers...use them to study for the final.

I took it online this summer and it was really easy. I did have to take the final at the testing center, but I think maybe missed one. It's just a repeat of what you've already done. I also suggest printing out the quizzes and looking over them to study for the final.

Wow, you guys had to take the final at the testing center?? I wonder why I don't have to... perhaps it depends on the instructor..
