I've tutored many MTs over the years, and have always added little anecdotes to their "lessons" (whether they liked it or not) which seemed to help them remember certain things.  I was taught that way, and it seemed to work. 

Anyway, what you newbies really, really need to do is brush up on your English, spelling, punctuation and grammar skills.  If you make a mistake with a medical term, more than likely your QA will forgive that.  But if you make errors on things you should have learned in high school, it's bad.  There is no excuse in MT to make these kinds of mistakes. 

My anecdote now:  When I was in college, because of taking extra courses not required in my curriculum, I had to take courses which were not typical of my curriculum but were acceptable for the credits I needed.  One was called "Advanced rhetoric and expositional writing."  There were no other med sec majors in my class.  These were people who were majoring in politics, government, physics, economics, and other lofty 4+years things.  They were able to spin about what was going on with the Vietnam war, the race riots, etc. It was a hot time (in a bad way) and the issues were mindblowing.  The president of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) was in my class!!!   I was in awe.  I didn't fit.  Little med secretarial major me was so naive that I wrote on subjects like "my most embarrassing moments," etc.  My subject matter just couldn't compare with these other classmates who were so far ahead of me, but I got a B+ (!!!)  for the course because of my grammar, spelling, and punctuation skills. 

Lesson:  Goes to show ya how important this is.  Good English skills is a foundation everyone needs--especially in this business.
