Description:

This learning design is implemented, as certain metabolic concepts pose a challenge to many of the students at this course.
The learning design includes Pre-class activities as preparation, In-class activities allowing students to work in groups on difficult concepts, and a post-class activity for assessment of learning.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

Describe central metabolism, including glycolysis, citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
