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)....

that course was phenomenal but why you guys have made the certificate pathetic by just replacing the candidates name with coursera learner. Why???? We can utilize our certificates like that!

This is a great course for beginners. I highly recommend this to those who plan on taking health-allied programs to gain a basic knowledge of the language of medicine.

Questions on the quizzes were not covered in the reading or the webinar videos. I even requested additional learning from the chat and never came across some of the topics that were covered in the quiz I had to independently read on my own. I would rather buy a book that the class is based on so I can reference when needed.

Al no hablar ingles en la prueba final tuve un poco de dificultad, durante las clases estudiaba con el traductor y me era fácil.

Some of the quizzes were glitchy and not well aligned with the lecture material. After completing a lecture and making notes/studying, the following quiz often included questions on topics that had not yet been covered. When retaking a quiz, new questions would appear each time, making it difficult to learn from mistakes or improve. In some cases, answers to earlier quiz questions were only provided in later modules, meaning the quizzes were testing material before it had been taught. This made it very difficult to progress through the course in a timely manner. It would be helpful if quizzes remained consistent across attempts and provided correct answers after incorrect responses. There were also times when it was unclear whether an answer was marked wrong due to a spelling error or a misunderstanding of the concept. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, especially in the Urinary System module.

Way too much joking around. Seems childish and wastes time.
