According to the results, 83.09% (344/414) thought it was necessary to set up the "Fundamentals of Toxicology" course, and the main motivation was to deal with the examination. The agreement rate between the opening semester and the students' wishes was 59.90% (248/414), and the percentages of better satisfaction of theoretical course teaching content, selection of teaching materials and class time were 64.73% (268/414), 55.07% (228/414) and 59.90% (248/414) respectively.

The most interesting experiment project was bone marrow micronucleus test [29.21% (59/202)], and comprehensive design experiments and highly operable experimental projects should be added.
