Classroom format: Training modules were designed to be highly interactive and collaborative. The bioinformatics-based modules (i.e., Protein Analysis and FBDD modules) were held in a computer lab, while experimental modules (i.e., Protein Expression and Purification and Biophysical Assays modules) were held in chemistry teaching labs. Sessions started with a 10-min presentation by TAs to provide instructions on the module and class activities. The students were divided into groups of 4-5 and specific tasks were assigned to each group. During these sessions, students were encouraged to raise questions and problem solve for potential solutions among the group. Course instructors and TAs facilitated and directed these discussions at the tables of each group. At the end of the sessions, students recorded their data according to the instructions provided.
