We will also have a review of all word roots taught in this class. Each class will begin with a short greeting time and then we will proceed directly to the assigned topic. Learners may need extra time after class to complete their workbooks/hand-outs. I have a relaxed teaching style and there will be opportunities for questions during the class. I can also be reached by email. Learners will benefit most if they read over the assigned material prior to each class time. Hand-outs and/or answers will also be provided as needed so that learners can have a written record to help them remember important details about Greek and Latin word roots.
Learning Goals
Learners will improve their understanding of selected Greek and Latin roots. This knowledge should help them to accurately and quickly define terms with these roots in them. This should, in turn, improve their reading comprehension. This foundation is also a great asset to anyone studying medical terminology.
