Abstract:

The “Comprehensive Pharmacy Experiment” aims to enable students to master the basic skills and methods of pharmaceutical experiments through practical operations and cultivate their innovation and problem-solving abilities. This experimental course is an important opportunity for comprehensive ability assessment during the undergraduate phase of pharmacy students' studies， serving both as a process to verify learning outcomes and an opportunity to develop full-chain experimental operation capabilities. The content design of this course should not only be both practical and feasible， but also considerideological and political education and the characteristics of the school's education. Based on the above points and preliminary research， the teaching team decided to focus on the production and quality inspection of dihydroartemisinin tablets as the core of the course design， including four major experimental parts： natural pharmaceutical chemistry experiments， pharmaceutical chemistry experiments， pharmaceutical preparation experiments， and pharmaceutical analysis experiments. The course has been last for two cycles， with moderate experimental difficulty， reasonable course content settings， strong operability， high student acceptance， good student adaptability， and good learning effects. However， there are still three problems with this course， including low experimental yield in some experiments， general differentiation of summative assessment questions， and the final course score not fully reflecting the significance of process evaluation. The teaching team plans to further improve the course content from three aspects： optimizing experimental steps， increasing the difficulty of summative assessment， and improving process evaluation methods.
