5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as a teacher and a resource, November 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Quick and Easy Medical Terminology (Spiral-bound)

I used this text for an online course in medical terminology and was more than satisfied with the results. The author structured the book in such a way that it appeals to all learning styles--visual, auditory (using the audio CD or tape), and even movement (using the accompanying CD interactive exercises). Programmed learning is employed by the author and is a very effective way of teaching this "new language." I would recommend this book to anyone entering the allied health fields.

The product overall is a masterpiece. The author did a wonderful job creating a "fun" atmosphere to learn. Even with years of experience in the medical field, I was still able to learn a lot through this book.

This review is from: Quick and Easy Medical Terminology (Spiral-bound)

I took an online medical terminology class and felt I didn't learn as much as I should have because the book for that class was aweful. So I ordered Peggy Leonard's Quick and Easy Medical Terminology to better learn the terminlogy myself over the summer. I'm half way through it and it's awesome. I've learned so much more with this book. It is easy, laid out well and thoroughly teaches the basics. Peggy Leonard keeps it interesting too. The audio tape and CD Rom is also helpful. Highly recommended!
