9b. Appendix B - Transcript of Open Ended Questionnaire Responses B2. Experiments on Isolated Guinea Pig Ileum B2.2 Brighton STUDENT ID WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE MEANT TO LEARN FROM THE PACKAGE? FROM THE SECTIONS YOU STUDIED, WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID YOU FIND EASY TO GRASP? FROM THE SECTIONS YOU STUDIED, WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID YOU FIND DIFFICULT TO GRASP? ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR OBSERVATIONS 60487 The way the receptors function and its properties. The information was not very detailed but may be used as a revision guide. Some of the terms used was new apart from that the section was o.k. I did not spend a lot of time with the package. 60892 The functions of the receptors and its properties. It may be used as a revision aid. - - 61881 Basic structure, types of curves, affect of Agonists of differing strength/efficacy. Affinity and efficacy. Calculations of concentrations. Time 1½ hrs - 2 hrs. The more interactive parts were good but the text could be more descriptive. 61993 Agonists/Antagonists acting on Guinea Pig Ileum Easy to learn about the definitions as the term used is simple and clear. Difficult to grasp, about the different concentration used in order to set up tables and draw the graphs. 2 hours. 62191 Understanding of agonist drug interactions. - - 2/3 hours 62391 Experimental information to assist practicals and lecture notes. The experimental set up because it was items previously covered in class. Calculations. 1½ hours 62582 Basic agonist drug pharmacology. General comments: (We/You) spent a lot of time drawing/marking up curves which quite honestly detracts from the fundamental learning process both in time and content. Most things. Nothing in particular. 4 hours 62891 Something new. An explanation of something not understood before. The experimental parts which were covered previously in practicals. New unheard of concepts ie occupancy theory etc. 2 hrs 62991 What graphs were supposed to look like and how to construct them and general principles of experiments. Constructing and comparing the graphs. The way the actual experiment was carried out as washing out the drugs etc. and dose cycles were skiped. I worked on it for about 2 to 3 hours. 63081 Details on how guinea pig experiments were set up, definitions of some terms. Setting up mock experiments, ie. giving theoretical doses of agonists. - 1¼ hours. The theoretical traces produced were too slow; there was no real need for them; just a value of the peak. When answering questions by dragging words into boxes, some answers would only fit in a few boxes, making the questions easier but not assessing knowledge. 63481 Anything I did not know. General principles - 15 mins. 63791 The main absorption sites, breakdown of drug molecules. Sites of absorption, hydrolysis of drug molecules, meanings of pharmacological phrases. - About 1 hr. It seemed to take a long time to go between screens in some of the questions. The graphics were colourful and kept you interested in the subject. 64193 How to be able to answer pharmacology questions. Everything. Nothing. About 3 hours. 64592 I think it is meant to reinforce information from lectures/practicals. - - Approximately ½ an hour - hour? Found it very slow and time-consuming. 65491 - The solutions that were given were very easy to understand. - 2 hours. 65781 - - - - 65881 Don't know. - - 10 minutes. 66881 About guinea pig ileum. The experimental set up. - 1 hour. Computer broken down last week so hadn't time to work on package. 66991 Efficacy, Affinity, Dose Cycles. How guinea pig ileum contracts. How to set up apparatus efficienty. Efficacy, Affinity - very well explained with graphs, etc. Actually using does on ileum and plotting of resulting graph. Dose cycles were not explained very clearly. One hour. Excellent package. 67491 Theory of agonists. To visualise the action of receptors and drug molecules from the "Press to see what happens" Option. Lots of equations all together. 1 hour. 67591 Basic set-up and theory, basic anatomy of receptor sites. Actions of drugs on tissue responses. Basic set up, as similar to practicals. Not hard to grasp, more that hard to remember so much. 4 hours + 67691 Increased understanding of tissue response to agonists. Dose resp curves. - About an hour but found the programme quite slow and time consuming - I got bored with it quite quickly - some of the graphs took a long time to draw out. 67983 How to write up experiments on guinea pig ileum. Experimental set up. - Fifteen minutes. 68392 What agonist do and they effect on the guinea pig ileum. Receptors. Agonists. - 69192 Use of dose response curves in comparing action of drugs on different receptors of guinea pig ileum. Construction of curves, theory of agonist action. New material ie anatomy of ileum labelling. Two hours. It got rather repetitive. My time is very valuable at the moment and this isn't terribly difficult material at analytical calculations. 69991 How to construct, and get good results from the experiments. What agonists were and what they did. Sections of the ileum. About ¾ -1 hour on package. 70191 More info to add to lecture/practical notes. Experimental set up. Plotting accurate graphs and understanding equations. 2 hours. Very good package, easy to follow, good graphics. 71083 How to write experimental reports. Nothing. Most things. 20 hours approx. Helpful package, though takes a long time to get familiar with.
