This course focuses on the history and structure of words of the majority of technical terms in medicine, the sciences, law, and beyond that use Greek and Latin roots as their building blocks. Students will learn elements of word formation (prefixes, suffixes, and bases) to develop word-analytical techniques and build vocabulary and recognition. By the end of the course, students will build a working vocabulary specific to professions in law and justice by choosing the units most relevant to their disciplines. Emphasis on knowledge of terms regularly in use in the legal system and related fields, along with command of roots, prefixes, and suffixes that will allow students to interpret new terms. Does not count towards the Political Science major. Identical with CLAS 1128. Credit hours: 4.
