Overview

This module will consist of a series of practical session examining concepts of drug synthesis, kinetics, doseage effects etc. During the course of this module students will engage with a number of varying techniques as they complete their assigned practical experiments. The practical skills and experiments conducted within this module will integrate horizontally and vertically with the skills and knowledge gained from both the primarily basic medical science and predominantly pharmacological modules, enabling students to synthesise and incorporate learning experiences from multiple domains.

Assessment Strategy

-threshold -Category D (40-49%):Completed assessments present sufficient relevant accurate taught material to satisfy the learning outcomes of the module. Essays, answers and reports are sufficiently coherent and well presented to demonstrate threshold level 5 knowledge and understanding of module material. -good -Category B (60%-69%):Completed assessments present overall good accurate relevant taught material, integrated with some directed core text outside-reading. Essays, answers and reports are well organised and structured, contain good coherent arguments, and demonstrate good overall knowledge and understanding of all module material. -excellent -Category A (70%-100%):Completed assessments present very accurate relevant taught material, integrated with numerous directed outside core text-reading and some self-researched information sources. Essays, answers and reports present very coherent and well organised arguments that demonstrate excellent overall knowledge and understanding of all module material. Evidence of in depth critical thinking and wider reading are important for grades of A+ and above
