design, open-ended problem solving, laboratory work, etc. As the learning styles ofstudents can vary considerably [1-7], achieving this goal can be very challenging even whenother variables which impact student learning are taken into account. Various teaching methodssuch as case studies, projects based learning, contexts based learning, computer based learning,etc, address the learning styles of different student populations [2], [8-11]. In this paper, weconcentrate on student populations who favor “learning by doing” [3], [6]. We will use the term“learning by doing” to refer to the approach of learning by solving many individual problems orthrough practice as opposed to studying the theory with which the problems are solved.The instructor of a
