Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Threshold concepts and troublesome knowledge – used here as a “sensitising concept”, to stimulate discussion about the way in which courses are taught. There may be aspects of Maths or History which are always tricky for students. But recognition that knowledge may also be troublesome because of the way it is presented in the course or because of students’ previous life experiences or previous courses.
  2. Staff on both courses identified particular parts of the course with which students encounter difficulties
