What our

students

say about

PBL

Why?

…talking in a team can help to reveal

“different views and approaches”

…a scenario-based course is more

engaging (75.4%)

…the class helped with employment

goals (87%)

Why?

I had never really been confronted

with the kind of problems we

encountered in this course. Now that I

know I can solve them, it makes future

tasks much less intimidating.
