Learning Outcomes
Aims of the course: Understanding by students the meaning of inorganic drug, including its chemical properties and its biological role as well as of elements (metals and metalloids) involved in its structure and synthesis. Aims comprise knowledge and skill (capacity) of synthesis, quality control, characterization, quantity control of pharmaceutical preparations which contain inorganic drugs , their mechanism of action at the molecular level as well as their use and side effects. Scills: Familiarity with basic meanings such as: a) biological activity of metals-metalloids b) biological activity of inorganic compounds of pharmaceutical interest, c) their interaction with biological targets and d) with characterization –quality/quantity control.
General Competences

Description
Advance written exams (A ), exams in the end of semester (B). Examination is based on some questions which should be answered according to the obtained knowledge during semester as well as to ability to combine knowledge with information and their critical thought. Exams in the end of semester take place on data and hours as well as auditoriums announced by Department. Duration of exams is 3 h. Marks are rotatable. Α) Advance examination Right to participate in this examination have students of 3d semester who attend the lectures (among 6 lectures presence in 3 allow the participation in this examination). There are two examinations, one in the middle of the course and another in the end. Only students who succeed (mark 5 or higher) in the first examination can participate in the second. Students succeeded in this examination are relieved from the examination in the end of semester and total mark is average of two examinations. During laboratory practice students present the composition of their results. At the end of laboratory practice students have written examination on it. Success in laboratory practice (average of notebook and test should be 5 at least) allow the participation in exams in the end of semester. The laboratory practice mark participate in the final mark by 20%.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Formative)
  • Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Summative)
