CLASS 1692 - Biomedical Terminology

(crosslisted)
(also BIOMI 1720) (HA-AS)

Summer. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

D. Bowman, H. Roisman.

A study of the Greek and Latin word elements that combine to form most of the specialized terms in the biological sciences. The student who learns the meanings of those elements and the rules of word formation can usually recognize the basic meaning of any unfamiliar word in that field. This skill is especially valuable for pre-law, pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary students and for those in other health and legal fields, as well as for students who would like to broaden their general vocabulary. This course would be excellent preparation for students prior to taking standardized test: e.g., SAT, GRE, MCAT, TOEFL, LSAT, etc.
