soushee What was the name of the university or institution that you took your medical terminology class from? I work full time and have to take this class along with 2 other classes and I am beginning to loose my mind. Thanks for your help...
I am so glad I took med term. It has been a huge help to me because now I know the words and there meanings in A&P II and micro. Many people who are taking these classes are struggling with the latin and I am not. I took it fifteen years ago when it was required and now it's not. For me the basics of med term I have retained over the years. I know it seems like a waste now because you are getting a B but believe me you will be so happy you took this later. When I had to memorize the arteries and veins of the body it was a piece of cake for me because I pretty much knew the hepatic portal went to the liver and what subclavian meant and brachial. I think I ended up with a 112% on that test. So just buckle down and get memorizing. You will feel relief later down the road.
Use quizlet.com. I haven't taken this class yet but I think it will help you a lot- it sure has for my other classes! It's not just making flashcards. You can quiz yourself by having you type the answer, it can generate tests out of your question/answer sets, play games, etc. Not to mention it's a lot faster to type your sets than to write them, and you won't have any flashcards to lose or take up space. It will force you to make sure you're spelling things correctly too.
Best of luck. I can definitely see how you're frustrated but there's still time to make a comeback! And in the end if you do get a B, it isn't a prereq and it's one credit so it won't hurt your GPA that much.
Your class is exactly how mine was-- what textbook are you using? I recommend getting Stedman's medical terminology flash cards. It includes lots of terms (800), and although it's not all of the terms you'll need to know, it's better than spending 3 hours writing out flash cards.
Medical terminology is hard, but you can do it. Good luck with the rest of your semester!
