Stanfield's Essential Medical Terminology

I needed this book for one of the college courses I am enrolled in. It even came with an access code to access the online book!! Being able to access the online textbook is very helpful and I was very surprised!!

The product itself is good. I'm using it for college. However, be careful of buying it new for full-price from sellers other than Amazon. It came used. That's not Amazon's fault but the seller's.

I'm using this textbook for a Clinical Terminology course and, four weeks in, I'm struggling. The Progress Checks at the end of each chapter are HARD because the answers to at least 1/3 of the questions aren't clearly expressed in the book. I'm relying heavily on a medical dictionary and Google to complete each week's assignments. It's unacceptable that I (and my classmates) should be relying on the Internet to complete assignments. The material should be clearly and thoroughly expressed in each chapter; students should not have to rely on outside sources of information to complete assignments.

Missing code and disc.

It is a medical terminology book. There is nothing that sets it apart from any other, really. But it does its job, and it was not excessively expensive, so it's ok.
