The Professor Gets an A. She knows her stuff, and that's a lot if she's a PharmD. If I were director, I would have the instructor behind a desk pointing to charts, or having charts on pop-up screens; a little stop-action between instructor, chart and supplemental video; you see her as she's narrating, then you see the chart or list as she's talking about, then you see the professor and the chart together. She's a pharmacist, so let's see her variously; sometimes in a nice outfit that a 1st class professor would wear, sometimes wearing what a pharmacist would wear; placed in a pharmacy lab setting, especially in the videos where she talks about the Lab-Equipment. For Dosage-Calculations, which were never presented, have her do it kinda like Khan-Academy does it; Sal-Khan talks to the user as he does the calculation and explains it. Most of Sal's math videos are less than 10 minutes; a lot of them less than 5-minutes; step-by-step in small chunks, just like Jaime Escalante also explains it on Stand and Deliver. Make her look 1st-Class ... She'll appreciate it. ... As for the course itself ... Even though I don't want to: **The Course gets an F. ** **Why: The exams test on material that hasn't been presented. This course is riddled throughout with these kinds of errors. The final exam tests on calculations that weren't presented at all ... anywhere in the course. I got a 93% on the 1st-attempt, because I'm a certified Math-Teacher with 2 master's degrees. Your course is supposed to be very do-able for the average high school graduate. How can it be when you test on material before it's presented, or on material that is never presented at all?? Pharmacy is in the applied sciences and is very useful. You get to be in the lab working with lab stuff; making medicine that is going to save people/improve their lives. Have some fun with it. Dub in some MASH songs and scenes, Doogie Hauser, ER, Marcus Welby; show Hollywood doing pharmacy stuff. Make it look cool, because it is. If you fix the tests; show those calculations so users can actually do them, and the course will get an A.

I really liked the course!!!

A great pleasure to have this certificate and ultimately have the Specialization Certificate on Pharmacy Technician Fundamentals with the great support of the Academic Staff and the members of the Coursera panel. A Lot of thanks for All of them who taught me and guided me to achieve this.

The course has was challenging but again very informative. I like the arrangements of the course ,the course is super and rich in content.

This provided good materials to prepare you in the field or while waiting for someone to hire you as a Pharmacy Tech Trainee!

This course was extremely useful and interesting!

I had so much fun thanks Med Certs & Coursera

This is very helpful. Thank you!

Good to know

It's fairly comprehensive, and you'll learn a great deal. However, some exam questions are NOT covered in the videos, so beware. Speaking of the videos, they're clearly out of date. Few doctors write prescriptions anymore; everything is done electronically. But as a primer course, it was interesting and engaging.

There are a lot of words spelled wrong and that can make the difference in pharmacy courses being that a lot of words sound alike and look alike as one of the modules stated. I think someone should go over this course and fix those misspelled words.

the full knowledge about the topics will be gained

A good course

Activity 6.1 should follow the second video, not the first. Also, the section with pharmacy conversions contained what I thought were typos, which made it very confusing. It was a good course, but if English isn't your first language, it could be more difficult as some of the material was explained in a way that made it harder to understand than it should've been.

how can you put final quiz questions about formulas and math that has not been taught yet in module 3? those things are all taught in module 4!
