Students historically have complained about a too-high workload; by highlighting congruence between day-to-day activities and their final exams and projects through lecture activities, restructuring projects, and providing rubrics, I saw students report the same amount of time spent on coursework (16-24 hours per week for &gt;= 60 % of students) and a lower perceived workload (from 3.8±.73 in 2023 to 3.4±.64 in 2024, both on a 1–5 Likert scale). They also saw greater connections between individual sub-elements in the course (from 3.4±1.15 in 2023 to 3.8±.94 in 2024, also on a 1–5 scale) and gave qualitative feedback supporting the congruence as important. Overall, the intervention appears to have been successful and will be reused and iterated upon in future years.</p> Valkyrie Savage Copyright (c) 2025 Valkyrie Savage https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155239 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100 Reversing the classroom: Flipped Learning for Forensic Medicine´s Legislation Module https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155240 <p>-</p> Sara Tangmose Larsen Copyright (c) 2025 Sara Tangmose Larsen https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155240 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100 Enhancing Congruence in a Complex Course with a Diverse Classroom https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155241 <p>-</p> Hannah Lois Owens Copyright (c) 2025 Hannah Lois Owens https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155241 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100 Enhancing student experience and learning outcomes in a practical pharmacology course https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155242 <p>This report reflects on improvements made to a pharmacology course based on student feedback and my teaching experience. Key changes included restructuring the course schedule for clarity, streamlining online materials, and modifying teaching methodologies to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Initial feedback indicated that students appreciated the revised schedule and materials, while changes in teaching methods improved preparation and engagement during my exercise. While average grades were slightly lower than in previous years, student understanding and satisfaction showed promising improvements, highlighting the potential for continued refinements to the course design.</p> Stephanie Andrea Heusser Copyright (c) 2025 Stephanie Andrea Heusser https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155242 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100 Increasing student activation by creating a safe learning environment and implementing dialogue based teaching https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155243 <p>-</p> Pia Ryt-Hansen Copyright (c) 2025 Pia Ryt-Hansen https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155243 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100 Designing a rubric for summative assessment and student reference https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155244 <p>-</p> Stine Kjaer Urhoj Copyright (c) 2025 Stine Kjaer Urhoj https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/155244 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100 Challenges and opportunities of using an AI chatbot for learning assessment https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/156193 <p>-</p> Laura Florez Copyright (c) 2025 Laura Florez https://tidsskrift.dk/IUSTL/article/view/156193 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0100
