Conclusions

PBL clearly encourages students to think deeply about the subject matter, and is very popular with students. The workload involved in preparing the exercises is, however, large, and student group-work and time management are problems. With experience, however, I hope that these problems can be minimised. The exercises appear to work better when run in class time.
