7. Individual tasks
Individual tasks in pharmaceutical botany are performed in separate sections according to the
following topics:
• studying morphological structure medicinal plants, their description and interpretation and
synthesis of the results, design research results, and formulation of conclusions;
• studying the anatomical structure of medicinal plants; of their anatomical microscopic study
summarizing the results, design research results, and formulation of conclusions;
• studying the systematic position of medicinal products, determining the types of determinants;
comparison of morphological and anatomical features of several species of the same genus,
design research results, and formulation of conclusions;
• familiarization with the regulations of Ukraine and the World Health Organization, the
governing principles of good practice cultivation and collection of herbs for use in pharmacy
plant material (Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine, GACP).
8. Methods of training
In the study of pharmaceutical botany, verbal visual and practical methods are used. At
the same time, each stage of training in accordance with the theme uses the material, which
involves the awakening of interest, cognitive need, updating of basic knowledge, necessary skills
and abilities, which were received by students in studying previous disciplines, as well as
emphasis on methods of studying new material; on methods of concretization and deepening of
knowledge.
At each lesson are solved specific tasks in accordance with the theme of the program. The
emphasis is placed on the need to use theoretical knowledge for acquiring practical skills and
skills that facilitate the use of the knowledge; the role of practice and self-education.
The method is used to direct teaching activities directly or indirectly (distinguish methods of
explaining the teacher and various methods of organizing independent work of students)
methods.
For didactic purposes, distinguish the methods of organizing the activities of those who
teach: independent work at a lesson under the direction of a teacher; methods of stimulation of
activity: independent work with information sources, work in the laboratory under the guidance
of a teacher, participation in contests, student scientific conferences, competitions,
encouragement and other methods of verification and evaluation.
The curriculum provides for the study of pharmaceutical botany with the following types
and forms of training: a) lectures; b) laboratory classes; c) independent work of students; d)
consultations.
The topics of the lecture course summarize and structure the theoretical material, cover
the issues of the relevant sections of the discipline. All lectures from the pharmaceutical botanist
are provided with multimedia presentation materials. Also lectures are conducted using tables,
herbarium plants, samples of plant material, collections of plant organs.
Practical classes in the method of their organization are laboratory and provide for the
study of plant objects, the solution of situational tasks. During laboratory studies, herbarium
specimens of plants, samples of fresh and canned vegetable raw materials, collections of plant
organs, micropreparations, chemical reagents, microscopes are used.
Independent work of students consists of preparation for laboratory assignments,
independent theoretical study of some issues that are incompletely covered in the textbook, the
study of individual topics of the program and objects that are foreseen for self-study and not
applied to the laboratory workshops, writing reviews and abstracts, etc. The control of the
implementation of independent work is carried out in classroom according to the specific goals
27
of the topic, during the current control, including those that are not part of the structure of the
class and are processed by the student on their own. Assimilation of those that are imposed only
on independent work is controlled by the final control.
While performing independent work, students use a system of educational and
methodological tools provided by the program, namely: textbooks; educational and methodical
aids; Guidelines; lecture notes; relevant scientific and periodical literature; information sources,
web pages of the search network "Internet"
Individual work can be performed at the university library, departmental colleges and at
home. A student may contact a teacher in consultation with obscure issues arising from the study
of discipline and the performance of independent work, especially the processing of individual
topics of the program and objects that are foreseen only for self-study and not applied to a
laboratory workshop.
9. Methods of control
In studying the discipline "Pharmaceutical Botany" the following types of control are
used:
The current educational activity of students is controlled by laboratory classes and
during the individual work of a teacher with a student according to the subject of laboratory
work. The forms of control are testing, performing laboratory studies with the level of practical
skills and the ability to evaluate the results obtained, oral, individual survey. The final control is
carried out after the student completes the curriculum.
The form of final control in the discipline "Pharmaceutical Botany" according to the
curriculum is the exam (IV semester).
10. The current control of students from pharmaceutical botany is carried out during
conducting training sessions and aims at verifying students' learning of the material. Current
educational activities are supervised by laboratory tests at the beginning by testing (15 test tasks
of varying degrees of complexity), and/or the definition and description of photographs or
diagrams of the sections of the tissues and organs (control of theoretical training) and, at the end,
by verifying the accuracy of the tasks performed with the anatomy, morphology, or taxonomy
(systematics) of determining the level of acquired practical skills during oral questioning and
enrollment of the protocol (control of practical training).
10.1. Assessment of current training activities. When assessing the mastering of each topic for
the current educational activity, the student is awarded grades on a 4-point (traditional) scale,
taking into account the approved evaluation criteria. This takes into account all types of work
provided for by this curriculum. A student receives an assessment from each topic. Shown on a
traditional scale of evaluation are converted to points.
11. Form of the final control of the training success The study of the discipline "Pharmaceutical Botany" is carried out during 2 semesters in the
second year of study: in the third semester, according to the results of the current educational
activity, a credit is put out, the final control of the study of the discipline (examination) is
conducted in the IV semester
Semester test - a form of final control, which is to assess the mastering of educational
material on pharmaceutical botany solely on the basis of the performance of all types of
educational work provided a working curriculum of pharmaceutical botany. Semester test results
exhibited by current control. Semester test results exhibited by current control. In the third
semester, an assessment from a pharmaceutical botanist is based on the results of the current
academic activity and is expressed on a two-point scale "enrolled" or "not enrolled". To enroll
the student must receive for the current educational activity a ball not less than 60% of the
maximum amount of points in discipline (120 points).
28
In the study of the discipline "Pharmaceutical Botany" in the IV semester, the form of
final control in accordance with the curriculum is an examination (exam).
The semester exam is a form of final control of the student's acquisition of theoretical and
practical material from a separate discipline for a semester, which is conducted as a control
measure. A student is considered to be admitted to the semester examination on discipline, if he
has attended all classroom training sessions provided by the training program on pharmaceutical
botany, has completed all types of work envisaged by the work program of this discipline and
during his study, during the semester, scored points not less than the minimum (72 points).
A semester exam on pharmaceutical botany is conducted in writing during the exam
session, according to the schedule.
The form of the examination on pharmaceutical botany is standardized, including the
control of theoretical and practical training.
Test of theoretical training is carried out by testing with the help of a block of test tasks
of A format with the volume of 50 questions in each separate ticket, which cover the entire
program material from the discipline. The correct answer to the question of each test task is
estimated at 1 point. For each wrong answer, you are given 0 points. Maximum student can
score for theoretical training - 50 points.
The examination of practical training of a student includes 2 tasks, of which:
- 1 task: description of the characteristic morphological features of vegetative and generative
organs of plants (type of root system, stem, leaf, inflorescence, flower, fruit, seed, life form) and
definition of taxonomic categories (family, genus, species), in the case of 2 herbarium plant
specimens. Each correct answer is estimated at 1 point. Maximum student can score for this
task 20 points (10 points for each herbarium speciemen);
- 2 task: description of the anatomical structure of the vegetative body of a plant, determination
of its type of structure by a photograph or a schematic representation of its transverse (cross-) or
longitudinal section. The complete histological description of the body is estimated at 8 points,
and the determination of the type of body structure - 2 points. Maximum student can score for
this task 10 points
Maximum student can score for practical training - 30 points.
The maximum number of points that a student can score while completing the exam is 80
points. The minimum number of points during the examination is not less than 50 points.
12. Scheme of allocation and distribution of points received by students:
The maximum number of points a student can score for the current academic activity for
admission to the exam is 120 points.
The minimum number of points that a student must score for the current training for
admission to the exam is 72 points.
Calculating the number of points received is based on student assessments by 4-point
scale (national) scale in the study subjects, by calculating the arithmetic mean (CA), rounded to
two decimal places. The resulting value is converted into points by multi-scale so:
For convenience, the table is converted into a 200-point scale:

Independent work of students is assessed during the current control of the topic in the relevant
classwork. Learning topics submitted only on independent work is controlled at the final control.
The maximum number of points that a student can collect in the preparation of the exam is 80.
The minimum number of points during the examination - not less than 50.
The assessment from the discipline "Pharmaceutical Botany", which completes the exam,
is defined as the sum of points for the current educational activity (not less than 72) and the
marks for the exam (not less than 50).
Disciplines are independently converted into ECTS and 4-point (national) scales. The
ECTS scores on the 4-point scale are not converted and vice versa.
Scores of students enrolled in the specialty "Pharmacy" to the number of points gained in
the discipline ranked on a scale ECTS as follows:
Assessment of
ECTS The statistical indicator
А The best 10% of students
В The next 25% of students
С The next 30 %of students
D The next 25% of students
E The last 10% of students
A, B, C, D, E rankings are awarded to students of this course, who study in one specialty and
successfully complete the study of discipline. Students who received FX, F ("2") ratings are not
included in the list of ranked students. Students with an FX score after reassembly automatically
receive a "E" score.
Points for discipline "Pharmaceutical Botany" for students who have successfully
completed the program are converted into a traditional 4-point scale by the absolute criteria
listed below in the table:
Score points Score on a 4-point scale
From 170 to 200 points 5
From 140to 169 points 4
From 139 to 122 points 3
Below 122 points 2
The ECTS mark on a traditional scale is not converted because the ECTS scale and the four-
point scale are independent. Objectivity of assessment of students' educational activity is
30
checked by statistical methods (correlation coefficient between ECTS assessment and national
scale assessment).
