PBLs @ IMU

for every imu student, pbl is a make it or break it session. u either fall into the " i love this " category or the " omg why are they torturing me" category. well honestly to tell u, i dunoo which category i belong in. i kinda enjoyed most of it, but at the same time it was like no time to prepare and stuff. Going for pbl sessions is basically a gamble, u can leave after the session with so much of new knowledge or u can be demoralised till the ultimate rockbottom to realise how dumb u can be sometimes. its true, n the whole imu can stand by my opinion.hhehehe.
i know ppl who go to the extrme to prep for pbl n some whom are on the other end of the spectrum. but the obvious thing everyone does is...to show some form of interest in each other presentation n add in a few " yup i read that somewhere" lines with added head nodding gestures.

ok ok wat is pbl, pbl is basically a small discussion group that researches on a certain case of the week and we meet up on a separate day to discuss what we have found. the cases presented to us are meant to trigger learning issues that we are interested to cover on, so most of the times it depends on the group, of course we are not let loose, there is always a facilitator. and there is the next prob. the facis can be the super chun ones or the super passive ones.

nevertheless, my pbl experience has been a awesome one. i have been blessed with good facilitators and most of all, a great bunch of pbl group mates. i can honestly say, i have learnt alot from them. dunno if they can say they same bout me, seriously doubt it, but i have la. alot of my friends are always jealous that my group always turns up right. thank god for that. hehe.
