I started school a couple weeks ago. I am doing the Everett Community College, WA medical coding program. This quarter is: Tech Intro 1 Unit. Legal Compliance 3 units Anatomy 3 units Medical Terminology 3 units The tech into I did in 2.5 hours the first day to get it out of the way. Score 100%, and I still need to just do the final, which isn't yet available. Legal Compliance is easy. Just about reading and doing online tests. The anatomy and medical term use the same giant textbook. I just got my book so by the end of the weekend I will be caught up in both of those classes and have A's in them as well. The coursework, so far, is what I expected it to be. I find online CC courses much easier than my 1980's era university courses. But, all of the terminology is a challenge to learn. Working for a hospital for so long gives me some advantage there, because I know what most medical things are. DH's illness gave me another entire set of terminology as well.  The courses are "taught" by an adjunct who is kinda bitchy. The first week she sent us a "welcome" message and asked us to ask her any questions we had. I had a question that I asked and her reply was to look up the answer to my own questions and not send them to her? What? She asked..... I am hoping she only "teaches" these 4 courses and we get a new instructor moving forward. Anyway, so far so good! |

Grats on getting started with the course work. My SIL is planning to get started taking medical coding classes this summer, but she hasn't started them yet.

Dang ...... makes me wonder if she knew the answer. 
The least she could have done is tell you where to look.
Good luck on your course study.

I waited until I could craft a non-bitchy response and pointed out where in her documentation something was, and where it was in the program's documentation, explained that was my confusion and asked for a clarification. Her answer then was "thanks for pointing it out." Yeah, okay. We are now 1/4th of the way through the quarter and she just started "grading" our work. All that involves is moving scores from one system to another... Our discussions have no grades yet. I had a similar experience in adjunct taught classes at my local CC. They sort of show up occasionally and "grade" things, but mostly want to be left alone. |
