After the PBLactivities, direct assessment with a common rubric was used to evaluate the quality of problemsolutions and student surveys were used to qualitatively assess the effectiveness of the PBLexperience. The assessment results indicate that the PBL activities contributed to studentlearning both on concepts introduced in class and on problem solving skills which requiredsynthesis of material from class.IntroductionAs part of
