Abstract: Tutorial class was arranged twice in pharmaceutical botany theoretical experiment and field practice teaching. Results showed that the students held a positive attitude towards taking the class. Tutorial class may not only broaden and extend students’ knowledge scope, and get the knowledge applied in practice, but it may also train students’ self-learning and collaborative learning abilities, and increase their expressing, communicating and summarizing abilities as well. However, there still exist some problems that need further consideration for better solutions.

Key words: pharmaceutical botany, tutorial class, teaching reform
