# PHRM7021

I am going to trial using HackMD for PHRM7021.


The main ways I intend to use it is as a collaborative tool for:

1. Tutorial slide presentations
2. Feedback following tutorials 
3. As a place you can [raise questions and discuss topics](#Course-QuestionsComments) related to the course (as an alternative to the Blackboard Discussion Board, which is also available).


[HackMD](https://hackmd.io/features) is a platform that allows you to work collaboratively on [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) documents, which can then be formated as slides or documents.

Read the [HackMD features](https://hackmd.io/features) page to get a handle on how it works.
It might take a little while to get the hang of working in this way, but there are multiple pay-offs for getting your head around it.

1. No more sending around powerpoint slides and not knowing if you have the more up-to-day version
2. All the slide sets will be in the one place---they will link from this page
3. Markdown is a highly portable format that is being used more frequently in a wide rage of settings.[^1] 

[^1]: For example, with [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) you can convert markdown documents into a wide range of different forms, including Word documents, Powerpoint documents, LaTeX documents, HTML, HTML slides, ....

This page will provides links to all the PHRM7021 material on HackMD.

The key thing we will do is use this for collaborating on tutorial presentations.

    > After successfully completing this course you should be able to:

    > 1. Critically appraise and synthesise current evidence in a particular context
    > 2. Identify a gap in practice or knowledge that can be addressed through research	
    > 3. Develop focused, feasible, answerable research questions	
    > 4. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of quantitative and qualitative data analysis	
    > 5. Collect and analyse qualitative or quantitative data while ensuring the rigour and quality of that data	
    > 6. Develop a research proposal in the area of pharmacy practice covering study design, methodology, data analysis and ethical considerations	
    > 7. Communicate research ideas and project plans to a knowledgeable, non-expert audience
3. Course design principles
4. Course components and assessment (what is similar)

    * Group work

5. Course components (what is different)

    * Blackboard groups
    * Course Wiki site via HackMD

6. Tips

    * [Searching for fulltext papers via Google Scholar](https://web.library.uq.edu.au/research-tools-techniques/google-scholar)
    * Consider adding [custom search engines](https://www.techrepublic.com/article/pro-tip-add-custom-search-engines-in-chrome-for-more-efficient-searching/) to your browser




## Tutorial Instructions

Use this site to collaborate on your Tutorial presentations.
I provide a template below.


- [PHRM7021 Slide Template](/Byi_OUAEH)

The template provides some instructions for creating your tutorial slides.

Create a new link from this page.
Copy the template to provide a starting point to create your presentation.


## Module 1

For the first module, I have created links for your tutorial slides based on the PHRM7021 Slide Template.

* [Group 1](/HJIgpY5WB/edit)
* [Group 2](/BkGVTY9ZH/edit)
* [Group 3](/H7VeOlBFRLWnIIVPr60pnw/edit); the version Adam modified in the video is [here](/SyWXEP0mS)- Leah: this should now be our working copy :smiley_cat: 
* [Group 4](/7nR5oc-ITQyzCu8kmbV6lQ/edit)
* [Group 5](/SkYaviRpQs-aU-qqekwM6g/edit)
* [Group 6](/pvQ96zsYTiSlG36Na6hnPg/edit)


For subsequent tutorials:

1. Copy the markdown version of the PHRM7021 Slide Template, then
2. Create a new link using the `+` icon or start typing `[Group x](...)` and a context menu will ask is you are creating a new link.`

## Module 2
