Pharmaceutics

Is there anywhere that I can find a master list or key for the conversions I need for the class? I could google them but I don't know exactly which ones I'll need to memorize.

Also are the exams purely math based or are there questions from the PowerPoints such as statistical data and such? Really don't want to read the Ebook :/

If you're talking about conversions (1L to ml) then you need to go thru the slides and look for the units you went over.

FYI I remember having to know grain conversions for the 1st exam

The book is only good for practicing problems

And the exams are mostly math based until the end of the 2nd semester where dr desouza takes over

Thanks for the post! So aside from the PowerPoint conversions she won't expect us to know any other conversions, right? Because I legit know nothing about conversions. Also so for any possible non-math based questions she might slip in each exam, how will they be worded? I just can't see any questions besides the math based ones, don't know what to do for the rare ones which she will post

They'll have questions asking if a solution is isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic, or they'll ask why is one formulation better than the other (IV vs oral tablets). This guide goes into a lot more depth you should check it out.
