 Great book!!! July 20, 2008
Sharon
I took the class with this book. The book is a great book, easy to understand even I didn't have medical background plus I am not a native English speaker. The excerises on the book are excellent. They're really helpful to help me to understand what I learned. More, the size of words, the color design to break down each vocabulary are great. I hate to read small words and look for long paragraphs to find out what writers' want to say (main points). Anyhow, the book is simply and easy to understand. I am happy :-)
 Too "easy"! November 7, 2007

Most everyone in my class felt that this book, while having an interesting format, was irritating to use. There is no basic glossary of word parts and combining forms, only an index that lists the exercise number where the item can be found. Normally, I might say that this facilitates learning through practice rather than rote, but many of the index references are incorrect! Apparently, they have not been updated since the previous edition. This also makes the book useless as a reference. Also, the way the book categorized body systems made little sense. For instance, why is the pulmonary system included in the section on the special senses? I give this book a C-.

I am taking a medical terminology class at the vo-tech school in my area. The entire class and the instructor are very disappointed in this book because it is full of errors. For people who are new to medical terminology and have no medical backgrounds this book is very confusing at times and I wonder if I am really learning the correct terms. The instructor has already said that she is going to buy new books for her next class.
Rudimentary, riddled with errors September 20, 2005

I went through this book page by page as part of a medical transcription course. Having somewhat of a medical background, I found this book to be very rudimentary. I was hoping to get a more thorough and detailed knowledge of medical terminology. In the chapter relating to my particular field, there were words that I suppose you could use, based on the root words and prefixes/suffixes, but were just ridiculous...never actually used in the field. This book is also riddled with errors, particularly in the review exercises. It looks to me as though no one edited this book. I am disappointed that I spent so much money for such shoddy work. I gave it two stars instead of one because the "programmed learning" format seems to work well.
