About the Course

This course will discuss the importance of learning medical language as well as introduce basic word parts and concepts applied in medical terminology. We will also learn about common organization and terms seen in medical records before moving into system-specific terms for the integumentary system (skin), musculoskeletal system (muscles and bones), and urinary (kidneys)....

The transcript in the lectures was helpful. I suggest that a transcript be added to the short videos in Final Course assessments. I made a 100% though but i couldn't hear some words clearly from the short videos in the Final Course Assessment. Thanks Dr Laura!

This is an easy course that is fairly effective, but it has its short-comings. Some exercises are very poorly designed, e.g. Spelling Exercises. Video transcripts have critical typos and erroneous transcriptions There is zero interaction with any professional educator. The discussion forums are black holes where students seem to post mono-syllabic responses and contribute nothing to discussions. Each Module covers a good amount of vocabulary but that vocabulary is a minimal part of the testing. This is a program that from a testing perspective focuses primarily on prefixes and suffixes. Quizzes are on an honor code, meaning you can look up answers and cheat. This greatly diminishes the value of the certificate, because anyone can get this without effort - just pay the fee, submit a quiz completed through cheating, and you get a certificate. I did do the work and took the quizzes seriously; however, regardless of whether you are studious and work very hard or are lazy and do absolutely nothing everyone gets a certificate. The initial appeal of the course for e was the relatively cheap fee and the schedule flexibility. I wouldn't dissuade anyone from taking the course, but I think I would explore online courses more carefully in the future and probably find one that has a better professor / student interface with actual dialogue. Good luck.

This course is very informative! It is very detail-oriented and the instructor (PT, Med Term Instructor) was very knowledgeable and entertaining! I would enroll into another course with her ANY day! This course is hands down well structured!

It is an excellent course, fun learning with relatively boring medical terminology. Flashcards, matching games are really helpful to practice and memorize. Thanks to the instructor and Rice University.

While this course alone was highly educational and engaging, it would not have been the same without Laura Kabiri. Her personality truly made this class. Thank you.
