An undergraduate course in contemporary toxicology was developed by the Chemistry Department at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) with assistance and participation from the Dow Chemical Company Toxicology and Environment Research and Consulting department (DOW-TERC). It was designed as an overview of xenobiotic effects on human health and environment and focuses on new predictive approaches used early in sustainable product development. Planned as a hybrid, administrated by GVSU, with lectures by both GVSU and DOW-TERC scientists, the course included classical elements of dose/response, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and newer advances in predictive toxicology, bioprofiling, databases, and product stewardship. Student performance assessments on a series of scaffolded case study, journaling, and exams, indicated their emerging ability to think critically and to apply their growing toxicology knowledge in solving problems. Opinion surveys indicate students’ positive responsiveness to the multi-instructor format. This course can serve as a model for programs at other institutions.

大谷州立大学化学系（GVSU）在陶氏化学公司毒理与环境研究与咨询部门（DOW-TERC）的协助和参与下开发了当代毒理学本科课程。它旨在作为异种生物对人类健康和环境影响的概述，并着重于可持续产品开发早期使用的新预测方法。该课程计划由GVSU管理，并由GVSU和DOW-TERC科学家进行混合授课，课程包括剂量/反应，吸收，分布，代谢，排泄以及预测毒理学，生物概况，数据库和产品管理。在一系列脚手架案例研究，日记和考试中对学生的表现进行评估，表示他们具有批判性思考和运用不断增长的毒理学知识解决问题的能力。意见调查表明，学生对多教师形式的积极反应。本课程可以作为其他机构课程的典范。
