Medical Terminology Reviews

JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College, JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College -- I really love how many exercises the students are given to practice their medical terminology skills! I would give Cohen an A for overall thoroughness.-JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College, Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College -- I loved the idea of the pretests. This gives the student a 'heads up' toward the learning process and main elements of the chapter. I loved the detail of the explanations for the 'focus on words' segment. This goes far beyond just giving examples. The writing style was clear and easy to understand. I would recommend it.-Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College, Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College -- I love the layout of the chapters, looks like it flows great from one section to the next. It is an AWESOME BOOK! I feel the author did a great job. If the level of our students is not as high then this book will bring them up to higher level. I think this is what we are needing, bringing students to a higher level of learning. Each chapter was well written, each section seems crystal clear to me.-Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College
