Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2024: 3.50 GPA, 69.9% A/AB (n=93 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.26 GPA, 53.2% A/AB (n=124 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.24 GPA, 51.5% A/AB (n=134 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Apply the one-compartment pharmacokinetic model as it relates to the IV bolus dose, extravascular dose, constant rate regimens and multiple dose regimens.

  • Describe drug movement through membranes, drug absorption, distribution and elimination.

  • Explain enzyme kinetics, protein binding, and blood flow influences on a drug’s pharmacokinetics.

  • Describe integration of drug kinetics with physiology.

  • Discuss drug Pharmacodynamics and its relationship to drug pharmacokinetics.

  • Develop a drug dosing regimen for a medication in a patient with kidney or liver impairment using only the FDA-approved labeling (prescribing information) for a medication.

  • Apply pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to drug regimen modifications based on therapeutic drug monitoring.

About this comparison

1280 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
