The Pharmacology course includes 3 exams (2 topic and 1 comprehensive final). The 3 exams are integrated into the Spring Semester block exams.
Exam 1
The first topic exam includes all lectures and conferences up to and including the lecture on the Anticoagulant, Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Drugs.
Exam 2
The second topic exam includes lectures, conferences and POPS from Antihypertensives through and including the lecture on Drugs of Abuse.
Final Exam
The final exam includes all material with a slightly greater number of questions dealing with those topics not covered on exams 1 and 2 (e.g., Prostaglandins through Antidotal Therapies).
Testing Policy
Because the tests are given as integrated block tests over a total of six hours, students are advised not to miss tests for frivolous reasons. The policy approved by the Curriculum Committee concerning retaking of tests will be strictly adhered to. That policy states the following:
All students are to take examinations on the scheduled dates. Missing an examination will result in a grade of0(zero), unless exceptional circumstances justify that the student may take the examination on a different date. The decision to allow a student to take an examination at a time other than that designated for the entire class will be made by the Associate Dean for Students, Dr. Wong. Any requests for permission to take an exam at a time other than on the regularly scheduled date based on health reasons, a death in the family, or other significant problems must be made in writing with appropriate supporting documentation.
