This project focuses on nationwide improvement of student learning in undergraduate biochemistry courses through design, implementation and evaluation of classroom activities and materials which target threshold concepts, by a group of over 50 faculty experts from diverse backgrounds. Threshold concepts are concepts that, when mastered, represent a transformed and integrative understanding of a discipline, without which the learner cannot progress. The project goals follow a cycle that uses assessment data and community input in a feedback loop to improve student learning. Materials will be disseminated through a project web site and at regional and national conferences.

该项目的重点是在全国范围内提高学生的学习本科生物化学课程，通过设计，实施和评估的课堂活动和材料，目标阈值的概念，由一组来自不同背景的50多名教师专家。门槛概念是这样的概念，即当掌握了这些概念时，代表了对一门学科的转化和综合理解，没有这些概念，学习者就无法进步。项目目标遵循一个循环，在反馈循环中使用评估数据和社区输入来改善学生的学习。将通过一个项目网站以及在区域和国家会议上传播这些材料。
