• Resumen

  • Pharmacy students in a biochemistry course enhance their learning by creating cartoons on pharmaceutical topics. For each of six course assignments, students are given and reflect on a current, advanced review article. The assignment has three parts: (i) Students write a one-sentence synopsis of the article; (ii) students create a cartoon that includes speech balloons; and (iii) students ask a “How?” or “Why?” question about the topic. Students gain understanding of subject matter directly related to their major and approach the literature with creative engagement and a novel perspective.
