Effective Student Projects Highlighting Problem-Based Learning at Leeward CC
On Friday, Feb 17, 2012, as part of Leeward CC professional development series, there will be a session on Effective Student Projects. Three of the four presenters asked to share effective student projects assigned in college classes that engage students and promote learning are instructors using Problem-Based Learning. They attended the Transforming Instruction with Problem-Based Learning training and have implemented PBL in their courses. As a result of PBL, they have examples of effective student projects/work which they will be sharing with their colleagues. This puts a spotlight on the great work being done with PBL.
