Problem-Based Learning

Students are very adept at sensing authenticity of learning versus other or setting up another game. A lot of the legwork comes before the PBL unit or class that's going to be centered around an ill-structured problem as long as those things are in place. We find that faculty are often not able to conceive of a student engaging any further than what's on the test. When this kind of framework is put in place, it's often surprising to the faculty members that we work with, that the students are able to go over and above.
