students. Verbal surveys could be expanded to written pre and post-surveys with ranking values to better obtain data. Feedback would allow the instructor to re-evaluate the emphasis of each course topic to ensure ample time is provided to the students forbetter comprehension of the material.

problem solving. No experiments wereperformed as part of the PBL. Student 1’s biggest complaint about the PBL was that “it’s nothands on.” Student 1 suggested adding a lab that would allow students to discover qualities ofdifferent types of biomass. “Instead of learning about the biomass on here, we could haveactually tested the different types and stuff and looked at it through that different way.” Student3 also echoed this sentiment and suggested combining the PBL with a lab test that “get[s] yourhands dirty doing it.” This is consistent with the Jones’ constructivist approach3. Studentsactually asked for tasks that would require additional effort if it meant they could discover orconstruct biomass information.Instructor Implications The
