We report for the writing program at “Basic seminar Ⅰand Ⅱ” in the lower grades
of the faculty of pharmaceutical sciences at Hokuriku University. In this program, we
thought it was important how the students could study with a feeling of growth. The
learning goal of this program was to allow students at the time of graduation to learn
independently and to utilize practically the skills they have learned to discover and
solve problems. In addition, it aimed for the students to acquire the ability to write the
reports based on the knowledge and skills with logical thinking, judgment, and
expressiveness. In the program for the students enrolled in 2019, we were analyzed
student questionnaires and evaluations of report by faculty members.
Before this program started, there were many students who had poor writing skills
in the faculty of pharmaceutical sciences. However, by taking this program, they abled
to realize on their own the improvement and growth of their writing skills and visualize
of learning outcomes. On the other hand, there still remains a problem that many
students felt writing was so difficult. In the future, we need to overcome this problem.
