Biochemistry and molecular biologyhave becomeincreasingly reliant on experimental experience, because they aredifficult subjectsto understandfrom a theoretical approach. TheInnovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program was established by the China Ministry of Education to foster the scientific interests and experiences of undergraduatestudents. Here, we reported onan innovative project-oriented learning (POL) system directed by Taishan Medical University China, which fused innovative project with biochemical course concepts. This study takes reverse genetics, which is considered to be difficult to understand through course-only learning, as an example. To help undergraduate students understand the principle of reverse genetics, the project involved producing hepatitis C virus in vitro . Furthermore, to give them a comprehensive scientific experience based on their knowledge from textbook, extensive mentorship was provided through the project,including theoretical guidance and technical support for experiments. Assessment showed a comprehensive improvementafter participating in these programs.In conclusion, this POL system was a good model that enabled undergraduates to learn moreduring courses.It also provided a chance to experience hands-on sciences, whichmight motivate them to pursue acareer in science.
