1 AH 119 Medical Terminology Orientation Welcome, I am Chris Ivy, your navigator for this class. This is an online language course so you should plan to study at least 50 hours a week to be successful in this class. Sounds like a lot. IT IS! This is a college level course. The 50 hours/week is given as estimate of time on how many hours a week it will take to be successful in this course, but it is really up to the student. Some students have good study skills, are good in language skills, have had previous experience, and etc. so they may take less time. This course is a beginning course and is often taken by just out of high school students or students who have been out of school for a long time and they do not realize how much time a college level course takes. Later in the course, students really pick up their studying skills and much less time is needed to be successful if they have not fallen behind. The biggest reason students do not do well in this class is that they fall behind. This course demands daily studying. You must be a self-starter and motivated to put in the time. Keep a calendar and put down times you plan to study in this class; for example, Monday through Saturday from 8:00 am 6:00 pm. Many students do very well and complete this class earlier than recommended, but they put in the time. I wish you much success. Log in Page: Use as your favorite.
