Course Learning Outcomes By the end of this class, students should be able to: 1. Identify the English meanings of the most commonly used combining forms and terminations in medical terminology. 2. Understand the grammar involved in combining these roots and terminations into complex medical words. 3. Define the thousands of resultant medical terms, including those which they have never seen before. 4. Translate the Latin terms used in the Nomina Anatomica into standard medical English. 5. Follow the established rules described in the course in order to create new medical terms which can be easily understood by other medical professionals.

Required Resources Stiles, Lewis & Russell, Stephen. The Anatomy of Medical Terminology , 3rd ed. Radix Antiqua Publishing. ISBN: 978-0-9952748-9-1 Russell, Stephen & Stiles, Lewis. Workbook for The Anatomy of Medical Terminology , 3rd ed. Radix Antiqua Publishing. ISBN: 978-0-9952748-8-4 Textbooks are available to be ordered from the U of S bookstore, or they can be ordered directly from the publisher at the following website: https://www.radixantiqua.com/product/package-deal/ NB: You can purchase either the Enhanced 3rd Edition or the regular 3rd Edition of the textbook for our purposes they are interchangeable and therefore you can use either one. Alternatively, digital copies of the textbook are available here: https://www.campusebookstore.com/EBooks/Titles.aspx?publisher_id=131 Important note: For this course you do not need an access code for medterm.ca. See the “Required Readings” section in each module in Canvas for a detailed required readings list and schedule. NOTE 1: My primary method of communicating with the class will be through Announcements on Canvas. Students are responsible for regularly logging into Canvas to check the Announcements for the course. NOTE 2: One the advantages of online courses is that they give you quite a bit of flexibility in terms of scheduling (for instance, the lecture videos for this course can be watched at any time, unlike in-person lectures, which are only delivered on certain days/times during the week). However, online courses also require you to manage your time carefully. Please be careful not to fall behind the schedule outlined below, as students who fall behind in online courses tend to have a very difficult time catching up, which ultimately has a substantial negative impact on their grade.

Email Policy You are responsible for regularly checking your Usask email. When emailing instructors and/or teaching assistants, you should always use your personal Usask email account (rather than an external email such as Gmail or Hotmail), this serves to ensure confidentiality for students and also to minimize the spread of computer viruses. Emails that do not originate from your Usask email account may not receive a response. All emails should include your full name, the course code (CLAS 103), and a clear subject line. This makes it easier to respond to your email in a timely manner. Please remember that email is a semi-formal form of communication; this means (among other things) that you should use spellcheck and avoid the type of abbreviations that are common in texting. Please address your professors as “Dr. LastName” or “Professor LastName” and be sure to sign your emails with your name. I strive to respond to all emails within 24-48 hours. If you have not received a response after 48 hours, please send me a quick reminder.

Additional Evaluation Information Information on literal descriptors for grading at the University of Saskatchewan can be found at: https://students.usask.ca/academics/grading/grading-system.php Please note: There are different literal descriptors for undergraduate and graduate students. More information on the Academic Courses Policy on course delivery, examinations and assessment of student learning can be found at: http://policies.usask.ca/policies/academic-affairs/academic-courses.php The University of Saskatchewan Learning Charter is intended to define aspirations about the learning experience that the University aims to provide, and the roles to be played in realizing these aspirations by students, instructors and the institution.

Online Teaching Platforms All history (and classics) classes will be done on Canvas. You can access Canvas by going to: canvas.usask.ca. Students can get information on the workings of Canvas at https://students.usask.ca/study/canvas.php and https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/tkbp/student and they can take part in Remote Learning Readiness Tutorial for students https://libguides.usask.ca/remote_learning.

Statement on Recording Recording of the course will only be allowed in circumstances where it is required as part of an accommodation specified by AES. Departmental Policy on Plagiarism It is important that students read and understand the University’s regulations governing academic misconduct, which apply to all University courses. Plagiarism is one of 23 examples of misconduct that are outlined in these regulations. Because it concerns the use of sources in the production of one’s own work (term essays, prepared in-class essays, take-home exams, book reviews, historiographic overviews, artistic or historical reproductions, and any other written requirements), a clear understanding of plagiarism is particularly important in History and CMRS courses, where such work often constitutes an important component of the course. Accordingly, every student must understand the distinction between plagiarism and the legitimate use of external sources. As stated in the University’s regulations: Department of History Undergraduate Instruction Handbook: Plagiarism is the presentation of the work or idea of another in such a way as to give others the impression that it is the work or idea of the presenter. Adequate attribution is required. What is essential is that another person have no doubt which words or research results are the student’s and which are drawn from other sources. Full explicit acknowledgement of the source of the material is required. Examples of Plagiarism are:

(i) The use of material received or purchased from another person or prepared by any person other than the individual claiming to be the author. (ii) The verbatim use of oral or written material without adequate attribution. (iii) The paraphrasing of oral or written material of other persons without adequate attribution. It is also unethical to submit the same essay to two different classes, unless you have made a special arrangement with the instructors of both classes. For more information on what academic integrity means for students see the Academic Integrity section of the University Library Website at: https://library.usask.ca/academicintegrity#AboutAcademicIntegrity

Academic Integrity Although the face of teaching and learning has changed due to covid-19, the rules and principles governing academic integrity remain the same. If you ever have questions about what may or may Distance Education Unit, University of Saskatchewan

not be permitted, ask your instructor. Students have found it especially important to clarify rules related to exams administered remotely and to follow these carefully and completely. The University of Saskatchewan is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Student Conduct & Appeals section of the University Secretary Website and avoid any behavior that could potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University. All students should read and be familiar with the Regulations on Academic Student Misconduct (https://secretariat.usask.ca/student-conduct-appeals/academic-misconduct.php) as well as the Standard of Student Conduct in Non-Academic Matters and Procedures for Resolution of Complaints and Appeals (https://secretariat.usask.ca/student-conduct-appeals/academicmisconduct.php#IXXIIAPPEALS) For more information on what academic integrity means for students see the Academic Integrity section of the University Library Website at: https://library.usask.ca/academicintegrity#AboutAcademicIntegrity You are encouraged to complete the Academic Integrity Tutorial to understand the fundamental values of academic integrity and how to be a responsible scholar and member of the USask community - https://library.usask.ca/academic-integrity.php#AcademicIntegrityTutorial
