Teaching pharmacology has been challenging but also enjoyable. The exercise and tutorials make a lot of sense because I find myself using multiple styles in relaying a tremendous amount of information to the students in a very short amount of time.
Between lectures, powerpoints, videos, doing hands on projects, and memorization of drugs and various mechanisms of actions on the body, I find that it not only keeps the information from becoming monotonous, but provides a lot of variety for the student and myself.
More importantly though, when it comes time for the students to take their board exams, I've had a number of them come to me after finishing and comment on the different methods they use to recall the information to answer a specific question!
I really enjoyed this exercise!
