Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures, and tutorials will cover LOs 2 & 4, whilst workshops will collaboratively tackle LO1 where you will be presented with data and will need to interpret PK parameters and make conclusions about the original dosage form. Formative assessments such as peer quizzes at the end of specific lectures will ensure every learner is as active as possible, and the workshops will enhance collaborative learning within the cohort and creation of a learning community. (approx. 30 NESH)The labs will cover aspects of LO4, in the context of LO3 where analytical techniques such as UV/VIS assay and Log P determination will be used to quantify and obtain physico-chemical information respectively. Because the lab tasks are customizable (you can decide which parameters they want to test in the lab) there is an opportunity for individualised student experience. (approx. 20 NESH)
|
Formative assessment for LOs (1 & 2) will take place during data interpretation workshops where you will be given sets of pharmacological data (e.g. concentration vs time curves) and asked to assess and interpret the data. Feedback will be provided verbally during each session and supported by providing worked examples. LO 4 formative assessment will consist of peer quizzes, where you will be invited to formulate 2/3 question on the topic and pose the questions to their classmates. Feedback will be provided verbally to each of you (with the option to receive this in written form, as requested).Feedback and feedforward exercises will also take place after the lab sessions (LO 3) in order to prepare for the component I summative task, a written lab report. Full feedback with be provided in written form inside returned, assessed lab books.
|
Summative assessment for LO 3, will be based on a protocol writing and lab report exercise, based on previous knowledge acquired in the lab sessions. You will be provided with a selection of medicines and given a choice on the type of experiment they would like to perform. You will then write a protocol for conducting your experiment, along with their acquired data within a lab report. LOs 1, 2, & 4 will be summatively assessed in a written class test based on topics and exercises tackled in the lectures, formative assessments or workshops. Class test will include data interpretation questions (LO1) application of knowledge (LOs 2&4) and problem-solving exercises.
