Evaluation of the didactic strategies implemented in the pharmaceutical physical Chemistry II subject of the Universidad de Costa Rica after being taught as a summer course

Abstract

After coming back to face-to-face classes in 2022, due to the virtuality generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Pharmaceutical Physical Chemistry II (FA-0336) approval rate was meager, which is why it was taught in a modality known as a summer course aimed at repeaters and through a series of strategies, different from those employed in the regular subject. Therefore, it was decided to explore the opinion of the enrolled persons to determine their appreciation of the procedures contemplated. Forty-three pharmacy students were surveyed, revealing that more than 95% had a favorable perception regarding these methods, more than 88% considered them very good or good, and more than 93% rated them with a grade equal to or greater than 8 (on a scale from 1 to 10). The data collected helps to conclude that the didactic strategies for developing the FA-0336 course in this mode generated a positive perception in the people registered.
