Chapter 1
Essential Pharmaceutics intheFlipped
Classroom
Abstract This chapter provides a guide on how to implement a ipped classroom
model into a pharmaceutics course. Course design, daily class organization, strategies for student success, and how to implement prereading materials (specically
this text) are discussed in detail.
Keywords Case studies · Pharmaceutical education · Flipped classroom ·
Problem-based learning · Teaching methods · Active learning · Information literacy
“Essential Pharmaceutics,” as the name implies, provides students in clinical and
research areas of the pharmaceutical sciences, including PharmD and PhD students,
with the critical concepts and knowledge foundation as a part of their pharmaceutics
training. These essential concepts are complemented by additional materials and
applications in our “ipped” pharmaceutics course, the design and implementation
of which is explained below.
The rst edition of this book was developed over several years as an accompaniment
to the ipped-classroom pharmaceutics course taught by Professors Hugh D.C. Smyth
and Robert O. (Bill) Williams III at the University of Texas at Austin College of
Pharmacy (UTCoP). Following 2years of planning and preparation, and with input
from educational and instructional experts, in the Spring of 2014, the “Pharmaceutics”
course within the UTCoP PharmD curriculum was restructured from a conventional
lecture-based content delivery to a ipped instruction, team- based, classroom model.
This second edition of Essential Pharmaceutics has now incorporated nearly 10years
of experience and valuable feedback received during the delivery of the course to over
one thousand PharmD and graduate students in the pharmaceutical sciences.
So, what does a “ipped class” mean in terms of a pharmaceutics course? In
short, it emphasizes the application of facts, foundational knowledge, information
literacy skills, and team-based learning to the solving of real-world drug delivery
and formulation science problems. Students leave our course with an understanding
of pharmaceutics that goes beyond rote memorization of facts and in parallel
develop the critical thinking and communication skills necessary to become leaders
in pharmacy practice, clinical, industry, and academic settings.

This textbook, Essential Pharmaceutics, provides the cornerstone of our ipped
classroom approach and provides the basis of students’ preclass readings, which
prepares them for in-class applications and in-depth utilization of these basic concepts and principles. This approach can be applied successfully in universities
around the world. In our own experience, we have found that the incorporation of
this text has been an invaluable asset in promoting student understanding of key
concepts and ensuring the success of the ipped classroom model as applied to
pharmaceutics.
1 Essential Pharmaceutics intheFlipped Classroom
1.1 Overview of“Flipped Pharmaceutics” Course Format
andStructure
Team-based learning and the development of effective communication skills are
critical components to the ipped pharmaceutics course. Prior to the beginning of
the semester, students enrolled in the pharmaceutics course are randomly assigned
to ve-member permanent teams, with whom they continue working through the
duration of the course. These teams are encouraged and expected to operate in a
format similar to a project team meeting or board meeting, in which students are
expected to respectfully acknowledge the input and differences of opinion from
other team members, challenge teammates in a professional manner, and engage in
concise and compelling communication, with the expectation that their position is
backed with facts, not opinions.
Our course is structured as a series of modules, each of which is focused on an
aspect of pharmaceutics and dosage form design. The chapters of this book are
based upon these modules and are intended to provide students with an understanding of the foundational concepts that they will need in order to successfully complete the real-world case studies assigned in the classroom. Generally, the semester
proceeds in the following manner:
1. Preclass reading assignment: Students are assigned factual-based content 1week
before attending class (referred to as the “Pre-class Reading Assignment”). The
prereading assignment consists of reading a prescribed chapter from this book
and answering specic questions on key concepts. Occasionally, other assigned
relevant peer-reviewed original research and review papers from the literature
are also included in the preclass reading assignment to supplement the book and
also introduce students to a diverse range of information sources relevant to
pharmaceutics. Accordingly, the purpose of this book is to provide the essential
facts related to dosage form design and drug delivery that provide the necessary
foundational knowledge for students to successfully engage in the in-class realworld case study assignments.
2. Readiness assessment quiz: Once the students have completed the Pre-Class
Reading Assignment, they should have acquired foundational knowledge prior
to class. Student readiness assessment quizzes are administered at the beginning

1.1 Overview of“Flipped Pharmaceutics” Course Format andStructure
of class and assess the students’ knowledge of the key concepts covered by these
preclass readings. Grades obtained by students in these assessments count
toward their nal grade, which provides an incentive to complete the prereading
assignment prior to the class.
3. Cumulative exam assessments: Instead of having two or three high-stake major
exams during the semester, we have recently implemented an innovative assessment tool. In our class, the Cumulative Exam is made up of a series of 11 individual tests covering each module (e.g., each technical chapter in this book) and
made up of questions covering only the prior week’s case studies. The Cumulative
Exam is administered by electronic exam software and is given at the beginning
of each class period. These 11 Cumulative Exams represent 100% of the student’s grade for their major exam, which the student has accumulated along the
way (Explanation: Each one of the 11 Cumulative Exams represents 9.09% of
the total Cumulative Exam, so 11×9.09%=100%). We also implemented an
alternative assessment strategy in which students can individually choose to take
an Optional Final Exam for any reason at the end of the semester, which replaces
their Cumulative Exam grade. The Optional Final Exam is cumulative and made
up of questions that cover all materials from the entire semester, including prereadings, mini-lectures, and case studies.
4. In-class team based learning: Class time is then focused on the strategic applica-
tion of the pre-class reading assignments through practical, hands-on activities.
All teams are required to complete two research-based drug product design
assignments (referred to as “case studies”). Fifty-ve minutes are allotted for
each assignment, and a 55-min countdown clock helps keep the teams aware of
the time remaining. To successfully complete the assignment, groups are required
to utilize a variety of online information resources in order to answer a series of
analytical questions. During the time allotted for each case study, faculty, graduate student teaching assistants, and experienced PharmD student assistants (these
are PharmD students who already passed the course and are funded through an
Academic Assistant position) continuously interact and engage the teams to
facilitate learning (our student:instructor ratio is typically no more than 15:1). At
various points during the case study, the countdown clock is stopped and faculty
deliver two or three mini-lectures consisting of 2–3 slides each on different technical/scientic aspects of the case study, thus linking the student’s prereading
class assignments (facts) to the case study (applying facts to concepts).

1.2 Building theRequired Foundation forStudent Success
in“Flipped Pharmaceutics”
Implementation of our model required input and coordination with faculty across
the PharmD curriculum at the University of Texas at Austin. Incoming students to
our ipped pharmaceutics course are in the second semester of their rst year of the

Fig. 1.1 The ipped pharmaceutics course is strategically placed in the PharmD curriculum to
ensure students have the necessary foundational knowledge and critical thinking skills to achieve
success in class. The source for foundation facts, information literacy skills, and communication
skills is color coded according to the prerequisite courses offered in the immediately preceding
Fall semester of the PharmD rst year
PharmD program. By this point in the curriculum, students have completed a number of foundational courses that are crucial in laying the groundwork for the topics
covered in the ipped pharmaceutics course (Fig.1.1). We mapped each of these
prerequisite courses to conrm that students would have the necessary background
before beginning our ipped class. We also note that the placement of our course in
the curriculum is such that the students have not yet completed their second semester of Physiology/Pathophysiology and Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, which take

place concurrently with this pharmaceutics course in the spring semester of year
one of the PharmD program. We, thus, strategically structure our ipped course
content such that the students are assured to have covered a specic topic before it
is used in class (e.g., we ensure that anatomy of the eye is covered outside our
course prior to the introduction of ophthalmic drug products).
As the ipped pharmaceutics course has evolved over the past 10years, we have
come to understand that student acquisition of the necessary information literacy
skills prior to beginning our course is a key component to ensuring student success.
In-class activities require extensive utilization of primary literature, patents, databases, etc. This information is analyzed by students in teams, already armed with the
knowledge obtained from concepts provided in this book. Extensive work conducted
by PharmD/MSc student Natalia Malesa as part of her master’s thesis revealed that
integration of information literacy training in coursework prior to the start of ipped
pharmaceutics increased student performance of the course, as student perception of
their own information literacy abilities. In response to these ndings, faculty have
incorporated an introduction to these information literacy skills in the “Introduction
to Pharmacy Practice” course that students complete in the rst Fall semester of
their rst year. Through this course, students gain experience using bibliographic
databases for biomedical research, including Google Scholar, PubMed/MEDLINE,
ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. With assistance from a pharmacy subject specialist librarian, students learn optimal search strategies for these databases, such as
the utilization of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Students are also instructed in
how to locate tertiary resources and how to appropriately cite references. In our
ipped pharmaceutics course, we continue to build these information literacy skills
by introducing search strategies that are more specic to drug products, including
the use of patents, the US Pharmacopeia/National Formulary Online, drug substance
databases (e.g., TOXNET, Reaxys), medication package inserts, and FDA resources
including the Orange Book and the Inactive Ingredients Database. With assistance
from The University of Texas at Austin library system, we have designed a course
web portal that contains links to each of these resources, in addition to guides on
how to use each database, how to read US patents, and how to appropriately cite
references, and it is located here: https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/pharmacy/pharma-
ceutics. Students utilize these resources in class and beyond, with many students
reporting years later to us how helpful the web portal is throughout the PharmD
curriculum. Overall, the information literacy skills that are developed in ipped
pharmaceutics become invaluable to our students as they progress through the curriculum and begin work in clinical and industry settings.
1.3 Achieving Learning Objectives
Learning objectives for the ipped pharmaceutics course at UTCoP were initially
designed and are regularly updated to reect PharmD accreditation standards in the
United States. For example, learning objectives in our course were recently updated
