The Allied Health Computer Lab offers students an independent-tutorial approach to learning medical terminology. It is tutorial because various multimedia formats as well as instructor interaction with each student are used to move the student through the learning process. Textbook, textbook exercises, voice tapes, computerized tutorials and mock exams are used to allow the student to self-evaluate.
Testing is via traditional written examination during lab times as noted in the syllabus.
It is commonly accepted that for every hour credit hour the student should dedicate at least two hours of homework to maintain satisfactory progress. Each student will have to judge how much work is required to earn a specific level of performance. 6 hours per week or one hour per day. Each chapter of the text follows a similar format. It is required that ALL chapter components are completed.
