Course Name : Pharmacology
Code(Credit) : FSHM 3103(2-1-0)
Course Objectives
-
Identify the fundamental principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
-
Compare and contrast the specific pharmacology of the major classes of drugs, important distinctions among members of each class, the risks and benefits, in relation to the organ systems they affect, and the diseases for which they are used therapeutically.
Course Outcome
CO1: Understand the pharmacological actions of different categories of drugs: PO1, PO2
CO2: Study the detailed mechanism of drug action at organ system, sub cellular and macromolecular levels: PO1, PO2
CO3: Understand the application of basic pharmacological knowledge in the prevention and treatment of various fish diseases: PO1,PO2
PO1: Knowledge enhancement: Enhanced knowledge on concepts, essential facts, basics, principles and theories relating to fishery biology, biodiversity and aquatic environment, aquaculture, fish nutrition, fish physiology, genetics and biotechnology, fish processing, fisheries engineering, fish microbiology, fishery extension, economics, and biostatistics.
PO2:Professional and Entrepreneurial Skill development: Understanding the value and processes of life-long learning and professional enhancement and entrepreneurship development.
Course Syllabus
