Specifically, students were required to include a casestudy in each of their posters.

Furthermore, thefindings from this study can be used to improve the delivery of follow-up introductory coursesand enhancement of metacognitive development. The assessment of learning outcomes throughmultiple measures provides a means of understanding the usefulness of laboratory and projectcontent in meeting outcomes, and also allows a comparison of the findings with the data in theexisting literature.2, 3Keywords: Introductory Courses

is the critique phase of SBLwherein the Evaluation (Evaluate) level of the taxonomy is clearly invoked. This aspect oflearning is not incorporated in many active learning procedures but clearly is an essential part ofSBL.A drawback to the implementation of SBL in a traditional class is that it is time-intensive. Asthe title suggests, this technique has most frequently been used in studio-based classes. The classtime allotted for studio sessions is more typical of that for a laboratory class in engineering—twoto three hours. So while the SBL approach might work in a class for which an extendedrecitation section is part of the class, the time constraints inherent in a typical one-hour classwould seem to be a large impediment to using SBL.
