More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For courses in Medical Terminology.
Keying Interest
Unlocking Medical Terminology serves as a key to discovering a new language, in a fun, eye-catching, yet scientifically precise way. The book is designed to be used as a text to support lectures, or as an independent student workbook. The flexibility of its application is made possible by the book's text-like format combined with its self-guided, exercise-driven learning program.
Wingerd uses a stair-step approach that mirrors the way that many people learn. Instead of assuming you will absorb volumes of information in one step, this book presents topics in smaller pieces. Self-quizzes give you the opportunity to master the information before you build upon it in the next section. This approach allows you to work at your own pace and ensures success.From the Back Cover

2) Stair-Step Approach
A progressive approach that mirrors the way many people learn. Instead of assuming you will absorb volumes of information in one step, this book presents topics in smaller pieces. Self-quizzes give you the opportunity to master the information before you build upon it in the next section. This approach allows you to work at your own pace and ensures success.
Each step is organized around the core elements of learning medical terminology: word parts, anatomy & physiology, and word building.
· “Word Parts Focus” breaks down the essential components of terms in each chapter.
· “Getting to the Root of It” takes a close look at word roots, which are the basis for many basic anatomy & physiology terms.
· “Let’s Construct Terms” assembles all the word parts presented throughout the chapter and builds more complex words relating to pathology conditions and procedures.

Very, very, basic... but good if you need a step-by-step guide through unfamiliar territory.
8 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
I guess I just move through textbooks like this much faster than "the average," but I found it to be an oversimplified, repetitious style of writing. If you have trouble with memorization, or you confuse similar terms/concepts, then this book is good, as it will drill each word root/suffix/prefix/anatomical term into your subconscious until you're speaking them in your sleep. But you'll be pronouncing them correctly, as the pronunciation guides included on the CD that is packaged with the book can be very helpful (unlike the phonetic spellings provided in the text). For an introductory course text in a very basic subject, it's not bad.

The book looks like new, however the code in the front for interactive activities was used. I had to purchase the access for that seperately.
