大多数大学生物化学课程的教学形式是教授讲课，学生记忆。虽然这是传达大量材料的最佳方法，但它使学生处于被动学习者的地位。讲座为基础的格式并没有被放弃，但已被分配给学生的个案研究项目补充完成后，中间代谢单位。案例研究作业是仿照在美国和世界各地的医学院生物化学课程进行类似的练习。作业的描述如下：一组4-5名学生被给予一个案例研究，该案例研究给出了一个遗传性代谢疾病患者的病史。该小组被要求为病人的症状提供生物化学解释，并提出有效的治疗方案。评估包括一个简短的论文，学生写作为一个小组。该任务提供了一个L内的小团体互动的机会。
Most college biochemistry courses are taught in a format in which the professor lectures and the student memorizes. Although this is the best method for conveying large amounts of material, it puts the student in the position of passive learner. The lecture-based format has not been abandoned, but has been supplemented with case study projects assigned to the students upon completion of the intermediary metabolism unit. The case study assignment is modeled on similar exercises carried out in medical school biochemistry courses in the US and around the world. A description of the assignment follows: a group of 4-5 students is given a case study which gives the medical history of a patient with an inherited metabolic disease. The group is asked to provide biochemical explanations for the patient's symptoms and to suggest an effective course of treatment. The evaluation consists of a short paper that the students write as a group. The assignment provides the opportunity for small group interaction within a l...
