Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Toxicology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The field of exposure assessment is rapidly evolving with new measurement and modeling techniques.
  • Educational approaches require continuous adaptation to address these transformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and identify areas for improvement in a course on exposure assessment.
  • To assess student engagement and learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Course content and lecture approaches were iteratively refined over three offerings.
  • Student evaluations were used to gauge difficulty, interest, and learning experience.
  • Analysis of course strengths, including quantitative homework problems and conceptual frameworks.

Main Results:

  • The course difficulty was rated as appropriate by 70% of students, with 30% finding it difficult.
  • A significant majority (72%) reported stimulated interest in the subject.
  • Homework problems were identified as a major strength, providing quantitative insights.
  • The GRAPE program shows potential but requires enhanced interactivity and data integration.

Conclusions:

  • The course provides a strong foundational framework for exposure assessment within broader scientific contexts.
  • Key areas for development include the creation of an adequate textbook and improvements to educational software like GRAPE.
  • The course successfully stimulates student interest and offers valuable learning experiences through well-designed quantitative problems.
