I fell into teaching a Med Term class at the community college. Because of that, my normal devouring of books has slowed and I've been focused on preparing for classes.

Medical Terminology is NOT my cup of tea, but I think teaching just might be. Despite the subject, I've really enjoyed this foray into teaching.

This was the main text for my class. I use the word "text" loosely. It was really awful. It's a workbook really and seems like it should have a separate text to go with it (maybe it did at some point - no one seems to know). I've been asked to review some potential replacement texts and I'm anxious to see them!

Of course, a new book would mean modifying the lesson plans I labored over, but I'd be happy to do that with improved materials!
