Pharmacy students who successfully complete the course will get four credits (and proctored exam). People in the sector who don’t have a background in pharmacy may benefit from this training as well. Even if you don’t have a background in pharmacy, this programme is ideal for you if you want to work in the pharmaceutical industry.
Continuous evaluation of theory and practise is accomplished via assignments. If pupils are unable to answer a question, you may refer them back to the text with the assistance of an assignment. As a result, in a distant learning environment, assignments are an important part of reinforcing student understanding. To complete these tasks, you will need to consult your blocks to find the answers to a series of questions and exercises that you will do independently. All kinds of questions will be covered in the assignments (long answer type, short answer type, objective type, multiple choice questions and case studies).
Thirty percent of the final grade will be based on the assignments. To pass the course, students must get a minimum of 50% on each assignment. Each assignment has a grade of 100. Thirty percent of the final grade will be based on individual assignments.
