Medical terminology class....

Published

[color=dimgray]hello.

[color=dimgray]i'm starting my second semester of pre-reqs for nursing school, and my colledge just opened a medical terminology class wich i'm thinking about taking. the only problem is that it is a online coorifice. so my question is do ya'll think it will still be good to take, even though it's online? i'm scared that i might not get alot of learning from it because i've never taken a online coorifice before.

[color=dimgray]what do ya'll think?

I took medical terminology online, and I learned so much.

We had a quiz (had a few multiple choice, but lots of fill-in-the-blank, and even some essay questions, so you'd have to have some idea of the material) and 2 assignments every week. The book for the class was extremely interactive. After each section, it would have tons of fill in the blanks, and it even came with premade flashcards. I can still remember things I learned from medical terminology that are useful in my human anatomy, and esp. micro and pathophys classes.

It all depends on your teacher.

I have taken a lot of online classes in all kinds of disciplines, Med Term, Eng, Bio, Econ, Psy, PoliSci, etc. If you have good self discipline then online classes are no big deal. For me Med Term was pretty easy online, it was just vocabulary, so make some flashcards and you will be fine.

I also took medical terminology online and I learned so much! I only took it because I needed credits and it looked interesting, but it really helped me in my other classes (I was taking A&P II and Microbio at the same time). Now I suggest it to everyone!
