Although science education, including biochemistry and molecular biology education, starts before students commence university, for many students, undergraduate programs are their first real introduction to biochemistry and molecular biology. Students often report that biochemistry and molecular biology are relatively difficult topics hence the use of varied and well‐thought‐out approaches are critical to fully engage students. This session provided insights into undergraduate curriculum design.
