Each student completes the Study Guide and submits it at Class 1. During the 25 minutes in Class 1 each PBL group of 5 students receives the problem and starts identifying learning issues to research. They finalize and prioritize their learning issues as time permits, usually continuing outside of class in their WebCT private Discussion Group. They also begin the research process.

In Class 2 they share research results (within each group)and begin to relate research results & the Study Guide information to the problem questions. Each group discusses additional learning issues to research.

Class 3 begins with each group sharing with the entire class their research on 1 learning issue, including the source(s). They begin to formulate their answers to the problem questions. Through file sharing in their WebCT private Discussion Group, the Problem write-up is completed outside of class.

In Class 4 the students take a quiz and submit the Problem write-up. A short wrap-up lecture is provided and then the students start the next problem.

This delivery works best with students who have prior experience with PBL. (See Teaching Notes.) A longer time line would be needed with students who have little or no PBL experience.
