Introduction and Course Goals
Welcome to Pharmacognosy- 1. PHG 222 = 3 (2+1). course offered to
meet the needs of students interested college of pharmacy. To provide
them with the basic concepts of Pharmacognosy relevant to their further
studies and life. All will be discussed and explored in detail. When you
finish this course, you should be able to:







History, sources and importance of natural products
General botanical and microscopic characters of medicinal plants
and their different chemical constituents,
Different between Complementary and alternative medicine,
The production of drugs derived from natural
Introduction to different biogenetic pathways of secondary
metabolites formation
Some Natural products contents ( carbohydrates, tannins, volatile
oils and lipids)
Chromatographic principles and their important applications in the
evaluation of natural products.
The practical part of the course is devoted to give some
experimental guidance in the processes of screening of medicinal
plants and their constituents mentioned within the context of the
theoretical part.

.Grading
Why do we give grades?
 Grades give you and me feedback on how well you are
accomplishing course educational goals. Grades give the
University of King Saud, other universities, and employers
one measurement of your competencies. Grades give the
University information about how well I am doing my job.
 Grades give me information about your learning that helps
me improve the course.
The longer I teach, the more convinced I am that the amount of active
participation by the student determines how much effective learning takes
place. I am also convinced that for material to be learned in such a way
that it is useful to you during the course and after the course is over, it
must be learned stepwise (not the night or weekend before an exam).
Although later exams will emphasize more recent material, exams will be
cumulative throughout the semester.

Testing conditions: Once an exam has been handed out, students are not
allowed to leave the classroom and return. Please make every effort to
come to the classroom prepared for the test. All cell phones; pagers or
automatic alarm watches should be turned off before entering the
classroom in order to prevent disturbing the class.
Grades will be available as soon as possible.
Grading Scale
Letter grades will be determined from the percentage of points earned by
the student from the total number of possible points (100 points).
A+ = 100 to 95% A = 94 to 90%
C+ = 79 to 75%
C = 74 to 70%
F = Below 60%
B+ = 89 to 85%
D+ = 69 to 65%
B = 84 to 80%
D = 64 to 60%
Instructor’s Grading Philosophy:
“STUDENTS EARN GRADES, I DOES NOT GIVE GRADES.”
Make up Policy
Exams must be taken on the date scheduled. Make-up exams will be
given only for approved documented excuses & will be on all subjects
covered by both exams.
Hints on how to do well in this class:
 Before class: Read the relevant text once-through briefly.
Access the lecture outlines on-line, print them and add your
notes to them. Lecture outlines will be incomplete without
good note-taking in class!
 During class: Attend classes and compile a thorough set of
lecture notes; participate in learning activities. Don't be
embarrassed to ask questions or ask instructors to repeat
material.
 After lecture: Review your notes and read the relevant text
sections again. With the use of your text, be sure that you
understood the class material.
Classroom Behavior and Academic Integrity Courtesy is required in
the classroom; I will treat you with respect and expect you to be
respectful of me and your fellow classmates. All cell phones and pagers
must be turned off in the classroom, and conversation should be limited
unless you have been instructed to participate in an active discussion.
