Abstract

In this chapter we outline findings of research into the impact of intensive mode teaching (IMT) on student experiences of threshold concepts. In attaining threshold concepts student learners must enter and traverse the liminal space – the state when a threshold concept has come into view, but the student has yet to completely master it. Our research identifies and explain factors that support students in traversing the liminal space within the shortened delivery time of IMT.
