Future work should focus on a morerobust assessment of how the PBL approach enhanced learning of course learning outcomes andoverall student satisfaction with the course structure. A more thorough assessment wouldprovide valuable guidance to others looking to replicate the teaching approach in othermultidisciplinary courses. Furthermore, refinement of the existing activities or the addition ofmore activities could likely further improve the course and associated learning outcomes.References[1] M. B.

Therefore, there were several major problems thathad to be overcome: a) helping her to understand what the diagrams normally convey visually, soshe can understand what the diagrams teach about program structure, b) providing a way torepresent a UML diagram that she could both read and produce, and c) providing a way for herto participate in the diagram assignments and, in particular, the peer review process.The natural idea for conveying UML diagrams was to convert them to raised-dot diagrams,where the structure is indicated by raised dots on paper and the textual elements are indicated inBraille.

search for answers to errors is extremely useful in reducingfrustration.In the near future, we expect to collect further data comparing different question types, andmeasure improvements in student skill using CLOZE and specific debugging problems in avariety of programming classes such as C++ and data structures. This paper suggests that there isnot a single silver bullet, but rather a number of scaffolding techniques that together can bothreduce student frustration and dramatically improve outcomes in first and second year students.Bibliography[1] J.
