"Practical examples of pharmaceutical translation"
Apr 11, 2019
I honestly expected more than what I paid for... I would suggest spending more than ten minutes explaining the phases of a clinical trial and how it is structured (and, most of all, having this written on the ppt presentation) and all those aspects that are less known to someone who's approaching the field for the first time, such as guidelines on how to correctly write the most common formulas of clinical trials or the institutions involved, etc. I did not learn how to analyse a pharm...

I honestly expected more than what I paid for... I would suggest spending more than ten minutes explaining the phases of a clinical trial and how it is structured (and, most of all, having this written on the ppt presentation) and all those aspects that are less known to someone who's approaching the field for the first time, such as guidelines on how to correctly write the most common formulas of clinical trials or the institutions involved, etc. I did not learn how to analyse a pharmaceutical text or to make specific terminological research or to create glossaries. Except for the interesting and quick introduction, the video is all a real-time translation of chunks of pharmaceutical texts, which should have been presented as examples, not as the only content of the course. The list of websites provided at the beginning is not sufficient, there are no really useful tools (such as institutional websites where clinical trials or writing are explained) but just general websites and some other specific for cancer. The course has been quite helpful for what it is, "Practical examples of pharmaceutical translation", which is how it should be called. I believe the current title is quite misleading. I will be waiting for your next detailed course in pharmaceutical translation.
