Abstract
The course Food Science, Complex Food Systems (KLG080) is an advanced level course in the food specialization of the bio-engineering program at Lund University. It has previously been based on a set of rather diverse activities (such as labs, lectures, PBL cases, etc.) that were weakly linked to each other. This caused fragmented knowledge among students and did not favor a deep learning approach. By replacing these activities with a new pedagogic approach, concept circuit training (CCT), followed by a milestone exam and a minor project, the aim is to design a course using the theories of constructive alignment. CCT theme meetings, with subsequent peer assessments and individual tasks related to each theme, will be based on identified core concepts and threshold concepts. Activities during each CCT theme meeting will be designed to stimulate and result in deep learning and mastery of concepts.
