A pillar of learning in A&P is improved scientific literacy by developing commonly used affixes (prefixes and suffixes) and roots in scientific fields.
At the beginning of each section, the student will be given a list of affixes and/or root words to learn. These stems/roots will be tested via either quiz or as part of the unit test.
