This Legal and Scientific Terminology course provides students with the tools to understand the immense amount of technical vocabulary derived from Greek and Latin languages in legal and scientific fields such as law and medicine. Much of the legal and scientific terminology in the English language still today are words that were formed or borrowed from Greek and Latin such as habeas corpus, affidavit, appendectomy, nephrology, and so on. In this course, students will learn how to decipher complex vocabulary including patterns in prefixes, suffixes, roots, and stems. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of the history and meaning of the terminology they will likely encounter in their careers and future. No prior knowledge of Greek or Latin is required.
