N.B. Each question scores lower for the upper division since they have to write an essay which the lower division do not. 

A) Build medical terms to fit the following definitions (5 questions. 4 or 5 pts. per question)
The answers will generally be words you have not been introduced to in class, but you should be able to form them from word parts you have learned. Familiar terms that mean the same as the definition but which are not built from word parts you have learned will earn partial credit. You will be allowed to use your dictionaries for this section and all the words will appear in some form in Stedman's. Any word that is correctly formed but does not appear in Stedman's will be given partial credit unless you can show another dictionary entry proving it is a real word. E.g. :-
    disease of lung caused by inhalation of dust    pneumoconiosis
                                                                                     not     pneumonoconios*
You will be given 20 minutes with your dictionaries. Once this time has passed all dictionaries must be put away for the duration of the test. Students will not be able to consult their dictionaries on an individual basis as it is too hard to monitor who is using it legitimately in a large class.
N.B. On the first quiz this section will be twice as long to compensate for the lack of section D, see below.

B) Define the following scientific terms (10 questions. 2 or 2.5 pts. per question)
These terms will generally be words you have not been introduced to in class, but will be made up from word parts that you have learned. Any definition that gives a correct medical meaning of the word and is grammatical and spelled correctly will be accepted. A partially correct answer will earn partial credit. Only the first non-deleted answer will be marked, so you cannot use a "scatter shot" approach. A common English meaning for all parts of a word must be given. E.g.:-
                                                                   enterocystocele            hemia of intestine and bladder
                                                                                                                  hemia of intestine into bladder
                                                                                                     not        hemia of bladder of intestine
                                                                   hysteratresia               imperforation of the ceruix/womb
                                                                                                      not      atresia of the womb
 

C) Answer the following questions (S questions. 4 or 5 pts. per question)
These will be general questions, usually etymological in nature, taken from class sessions or from material in Willis, requiring two or three sentences in answer. Some of these questions will be slide questions. Partial credit will be given if only part of the information the question asks for is in the answer. Extra credit may be given in cases of very good answers, but no credit will be given for extra information if the question itself is not addressed. E.g.:-
    Why does benign have the meaning it does in regard to tumors?
Originally derived from Latin bonum genus, which means "good kind', to differentiate it from the bad kind of tumor which was cancerous. To get full marks, in addition to knowing benign meant non-cancerous and originally simply meant "good kind", the student would have had to spell bonum genus correctly and to know it was Latin. Extra marks may have been earned by adding other relevant information mentioned in class, e.g. about the antonym "malignant", or about Galen who coined the terms.
 

D) Answer the questions on the following medical record (5 questions. 4 or 5 pts. per question)
This section will not appear till the second quiz, after we have done Chapter 4. You will be presented with a patient's medical record written using medical language and asked questions which you must answer in non-medical language.
 

E) Answer the following question as fully as vou can (upper division only. 20 pts.)
What other types of healing were available to patients in ancient Greece and why is Hippocratic medicine considered the beginning of western medicine when their theories are so different from ours?
        Folk, magic & religious (with an example of each).
        Unlike last two, Hippocratics belieued supematural played no part in disease or healing (example). As part of Greek natural philosophy argued that world followed laws which could be understood and reamed by human intellect. 7'ried to make careful observations (example).
        Unlike folk medicine tried to develop a theory as to why certain therapies worked so they could be applied to similar situations.
If you know something that is relevant work it into your answer.
 

Scope of material
Sections A, B & D are cumulative by their nature. You will be using word parts and terms from the second chapter throughout the semester. Sections C & E will test only what has been covered since the last quiz.
 

Quiz procedure
Before the quizzes are handed out there must be silence in the room and you may not speak to another student once the quiz has begun. If you need a pencil sharpener, etc., ask me or a T.A. All books and bags must be out of sight, except for dictionaries during the first section. Once the quiz has begun nobody may leave and renter the room, so go to the rest room before the quiz begins.
Any queries you have on your graded quizzes should be taken up first with a T.A. If you have any questions on your grade which a T.A. is unable to resolve, you must see me before the next quiz. I will not make any grade changes after that period. Nor will I make any changes for items that have been erased, crossed out or corrected, regardless of when the correction was made.
