Overview

If your course is using a problem-based learning approach it is most likely part of an entire program that is designed to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning. Some of your courses may use PBL while others may not and you will need to adapt accordingly.

Apart from these obvious reasons, the faculty sponsoring your PBL course believes in providing you with the very best learning opportunities and activities that will prepare you for professional life. Problem-based learning seeks to provide you with realistic and authentic problem situations that could and do occur in professional life.

The ability to problem-solve and work in effective teams are highly prized attributes in the workplace.

Your PBL course will provide you with these skills and attributes as well as guiding you through the discipline specific content that ensures your evolution into a well rounded and competent professional.

While initially some students find the PBL approach confronting, the methodology has a proven track record of producing confident and effective graduates that have a well developed understanding of problem-solving and workplace issues.
