Topic 1: Dosage form design
A range of dosage forms will be reviewed including solid, semi-solid, suspension, cream, and liquid forms and the design principles will be discussed.
Topic 2: API production, isolation and purification
Methods for producing APIs via chemical and biochemical approaches will be analyzed and unit operations for API isolation and purification will be detailedly discussed. Scale up of unit opearations will be included in the discussion
Topic 3: Solid dosage form manufacturing
Unit operations for solid dosage form manufacturing process are introduced including solid mixing, drying, granulation and tabeletting. Scale up of the processes will be briefly discussed.Small Group Discovery Experience
Topic 1 and 3 will be discussed in small group discovery activities. Challanges will be raised for small groups during the lecture and tutorial sessions. -
Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
