Abstract
Part of a toolkit used in the Transforming Perspectives project, looking at using 'threshold concepts' as a framework for identifying areas of conceptual difficulty in disciplinary curricula. This document gives an outline for an activity where lecture content and course/learning objectives can be reviewed to determine where threshold concepts might lie, and what they might represent (shifts in disciplinary perception, grasping of 'hard concepts', skills to be developed etc).
