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

As the group moved into thephase of formalizing a definition for these steps, each member shared what they did in their ownclasses. Group members critiqued each other’s laboratory assignments and had lively discussionsabout what really required students to “design” their experiments. Many discussions revolvedaround levels of proficiency for the rubric. For example for the “select the proper range ofindependent variables” step, the group discussed at great length the difference between“reasonable” and “optimal” ranges, giving examples from their own experiences.
