MED 121 Student Testimonials

Learn what former students said about their experience taking the MED 121 support classes:

"I have struggled with the pronunciation of the medical terms to some extent and having the support class has helped me with talking about the terms and pronouncing them correctly. In general, it has been a helpful class for reviewing and learning."

"I struggled in spelling the correct terms. Spark helped me learn the basics or prefixes, suffixes and combining root terms to get a better understanding of each word. I found it difficult in the beginning, but my instructor in Spark went through every chapter step by step and answered all the questions I needed help with."
