Jordan Deckman - CCV Course on Medical Terminology

I took a Community College of Vermont elective online class called Medical Terminology. With this experience I was able to determine that I do in fact want to go into the medical field. This was an online class and was completely independent, as there were no zoom meetings. This class was also a flex class, meaning that there were no assignment due dates, the only due date was that all the work had to be done for the class by December 15th. I thrived in this class! I was always working on it as I joined late and finished early. I had a textbook, and went through three notebooks while taking notes. The quizzes were open notes, except the finals. Overall, if I didn’t start taking this class, I would be so lost in future medical classes. This is also my 9th college credit (3rd college course).
