Abstract

This is a Team-based learning exercise used to review concepts and apply knowledge in thermodynamics, enzyme kinetics and pH in a medical biochemistry course. It is presented here as a paper copy, but can be presented to classes on a course server or as a power point presentation. The goal of the resource is to 1.) Assess the student's ability to recall facts and concepts concerning thermodynamics, enzyme kinetics, and pH (IRAT/GRAT); and 2.) To challenge students to apply and integrate the information they have learned in a team based learning environment (application). The resource includes 10 IRAT/GRAT multiple choice questions which focus on concepts and facts in thermodynamics, enzyme kinetics, and pH and 9 questions in which the students must be able to apply that knowledge to solve the problem (Application). The GRAT works well with IF-AT cards, but the application generates the best intra-team and inter-team discussions if completed one question at a time. Instructors guides for Team-based learning, IRAT and application are included.
