Time to complete
This is a relatively short book (100 pages, so 1/2 or 1/3 the length of most of our other books) so any student associated with the pharma industry should complete this course.
There is no teacher's book. If you come across an unfamiliar word, phrase or idea, there are a few ways of approaching the situation:
- Always get your student to explain jargon or key terms. We teachers are experts in language, not in specific industries. Giving students the platform to talk in detail about key aspects of their industry is a great way to engage important aspects of their industry.
- If your student cannot adequately explain a key term, then Google it. You may find it beneficial to Google key terms even when your student is explaining them.
- In the rare event that neither your student nor Google can explain it, then tell your student that it's a very niche term and you will get back to them with the answer. You can ask staff or spend a bit more time on the internet uncovering the answer.
