"Problem based learning" I get the general idea about what it is but can someone please explain what it means if a uni course is PBL, what the good and the bad things are etc.
Thanks
Thanks

The idea is that lectures are pointless and no-one retains what they are taught in lectures so PBL is an alternative.
PBL is teaching on the cheap. It can work or it can fail spectacularly. It depends how you work best.
What course are you doing?
PBL is more using the cases as a basis for the learning but still using 'textbooks, theories and models', just fewer lectures and didactic teaching, and more peer-led teaching.
:chin: I was wondering about it as I was writing it. I do think PBL is mainly about the "real examples" in learning. But, you are right Kentish, cheers! - It is a difficult question to explain!
:yes: I had to do alot of this in my course last year. We were given a case study and then had to solve it but we had to find out why we would solve it the way we suggested. It was used in our uni to try and cut the number of lectures and make it more workshop based.
