Bloom’s Taxonomy Original and Revised
Biochem Class and Blooms Taxonomy
Biochem Class Activities: PROBLEMS and CASE
STUDIES use the Higher Order Thinking Skills
Biochem Problems (see selected End of Chapter
Problems) involve two general areas:
1. Chemical Structure problems:
a. sequencing proteins and nucleic acids,
b. solving 3-D structures of proteins and nucleic
acids, and
b. solving lipid and carbohydrate structures.
2. Chemical problems involving calculations (solubility,
pKa, enzyme kinetics, thermodynamics: ΔG,
redox). NOTE: Calculations resulting in numbers
are only RIGHT with their UNITS.
Clicker Question to Get to:
What is the cleavage pattern of S-L-F-K-P-W-Q by chymotrypsin?
The Answer depends upon knowing which is the N-terminal and Cterminal sides of each amino acid in the peptide.
Clicker Question
The N-terminal side of amino acid lysine in the above peptide is
attached to:
A. F.
B. S.
C. Q.
D. P.
E. W.

Clicker Question
The N-terminal side of amino acid lysine in the above peptide is
attached to:
A. F.
This is a Chapter 3 problem, students already know the
B. S.
single letter code for all 20 amino acids (beginning of
C. Q.
week 2). The single letter code for lysine is “K”.
D. P.
E. W.
Clicker Question
1. What is the cleavage patter of S-L-A-F-K-P-W-Q by
chymotrypsin?
A. Q , S-L-A-F-K , P-W.
B. S-L-A-F , K-P-W , Q.
C. S-L-A-F-K , P-W-Q.
D. A-F , S-L, K-P-W-Q.
E. None of these.
How to Prepare for Each Biochem Class: 4 Points
Before CLASS:
1. Do the narrated PowerPoint “Lecture”: You have control
of it so that you can pause (take notes):
a. to compare the lecture to content in the
book.
b. to think about how this material is related
to other parts of the course.
c. to identify the parts you need more work
to get yourself to owning these parts.
2. Test your knowledge using the practice exams in the
syllabus and the textbook’s web site (BiochemPortal)
practice questions: LearningCurve.
How to Prepare for Each Biochem Class: 4 Points
3. From the LearningCurve, think about what you got right
(the material you now own) and the parts you need to
work on. Be accountable first to yourself. Build your
Biochem knowledge on what you got right. Work on
the parts you got wrong…so that now you own this
whole section or chapter !
4. Do the EOC Problems….Class problems will be derived
from the selected problems, and Case Studies rely on
your problem solving skills that you are developing.
Then come to CLASS and have fun DOING BIOCHEM.
What to do After An Exam
Pick Up the Exam: Handed back the next class.
CELEBRATE what you got RIGHT : This is Biochem
Knowledge you Own and Can Use.
Find Out What You Missed and Why…then get to own it.
All parts of this course are connected to each other.
The pay off will be a better grades on the next exams and
Comprehensive Final !!
Effective Learning Goes On AFTER Exams
Keep On the Learning Curve !!
