Question to you…Question to you…
Stepping into the shoes of a student …
How do you think they might react to the SBL environment?
Student ResponsesStudent Responses “What I liked most was the challenge and feeling
of accomplishment once the assignment was completed”
“I was more engaged, only because I had to be”
“This allowed me to learn how to communicate with a group, how to properly come to a conclusion without putting ego in the situation”
“This is a great teaching concept. It leaves a lot in the hands of the student and helps them grow up”
