In order to transform a traditional large non-majors general education (GE) neurobiology lecture (Drugs & the Brain) into an active learning course, we developed a series of directed mini-cases targeting major drug classes. Humorous and captivating case-based situations were used to better engage and motivate students to solve problems related to neuropharmacology and physiology. Here we provide directed cases, questions and learning outcomes for our opiates mini-cases. In addition, we describe how case studies were incorporated into our course and assessed using peer review and online quizzing. An in-depth analysis of the overall course transformation on student exam performance, opinions and instructor evaluations can be found in the article
为了将传统的面向非专业学生的大型神经生物学通识教育讲座（“药物与大脑”）转变为一门主动学习课程，我们针对主要药物类别开发了一系列定向迷你案例。运用幽默且引人入胜的基于案例的情境，以便更好地吸引和激励学生解决与神经药理学和生理学相关的问题。在此，我们提供阿片类药物迷你案例的定向案例、问题及学习成果。此外，我们还描述了案例研究是如何融入我们的课程并通过同行评审和在线测验进行评估的。关于该课程整体转变对学生考试成绩、意见及教师评价的深入分析可在相关文章中找到。
