When teaching coding, it is essential that students understand medical terminology well. Referencing terms that students learn in medical terminology as they learn coding is a standard practice I use so that the student not only secure long term memory,they recognize that to be good coders, they need to have a learning continuum.
I agree students seem to retain information when they see relevance and this creates motivation
Barbara, I agree when students see relevance to what they are learning and how it is related together, they are motivated to remember the content.
