Course Description:
The Medical Terminology course is designed to introduce students to the structure of medical terms, including prefixes, suffixes, word roots, singular and plural forms, and medical abbreviations. The course allows students to achieve comprehension of medical vocabulary appropriate to medical procedures, human anatomy and physiology, and pathophysiology.
Course Material
Student Supply List: Students are required to keep a 2 – 3 inch thickness three ring binder as a notebook with the following tab divider sections: syllabus/competencies, Notes/Handouts, Quizzes/Tests, Vocabulary and Worksheets/Coloring. Students are also required to come to class prepared with a writing utensil.
- Do not come to class without something to write with.
- Bring Chromebooks charged and ready to work.
CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
Participate in your learning!
- Follow the Golden Rule
- Be respectful
- Participate
- Be punctual
- Be responsible for your own grade
Your Grades:
- It is the student’s responsibility to find out what they have missed and make up the work. Please discuss your options with your Teacher the day after the absence. Absences: You are allowed one day for each day missed to complete missed assignments following an absence. (Please write the dates(s) you were absent on top of the assignment).
- Late work will be reduced 10 points everyday that it is late. All such work must be turned in not later than 10 school days after its original due date otherwise you will receive zero credit for the unexcused absence assignment.
- Late work due to an excused absence can be turned in for full credit. However, the student will only be allowed as many days as he/she was absent to turn in the work past the student’s return to class
- Projects:
- Projects are larger assignments that are given weeks before they are due and students are given ample time to turn them in early or on time. Projects will be worth test grades.
- Tests:
- Test dates will be given in advance. If absences occur during a test date, students will set up the time with the teacher and take the test upon their return to school.
- WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT:
- Check with your Teacher for missed work
GRADING SCALE: Both Daily Work and Tests are each worth 50% of your Grade.
Technology policy: Students are expected to only use their chromebooks during class. Any other piece of tech being used during class and especially during tests may be taken up if the instructor sees it out. All students will be warned before this action occurs.
Tardiness/Attendance: As a young adult, it is your responsibility to be in class on time. Tardiness delays the start of class and interrupts learning in progress. (If you are not early, you are late!) Please be seated at your desk when the bell rings and begin your daily work. Tardiness will not be tolerated and will be dealt with. Following an absence it is your responsibility to find out what work needs to be completed. You must have an excused attendance slip to make-up any class work or tests/quizzes.
Communication: Most classroom issues can be avoided by simply communicating with your instructor. The best way to contact me is via email. Email can be sent at any time or date and I typically check them on every school day.
