1) I don't like PBL. It focus on the learning process rather than the end product.
Learning Process. The Facilitators will grade you according to your participation and contribution in team, and presentation at the end of the day.
2) You must find the Solution to the problem yourself! The faciliators there are to facilitate learning... They doesn't give notes or teach you.
3) I feel that it's an HUGE disadvantage for student who are more introvert or less active!
4) It doesn't show the ability of the students ar. As you see, they grade you based on the learning process and presentation at the end of the day. During Presentation, I can bullshit everything and make it sound convincing that I learnt alot of things when actually I dont!
I feel that Exams is the only way to show a student's ability.
5) There are too much breaks in betweens. Half of the 7.5 hours is break. Of course, students are encourage to do research on the problems during break time.
The productivity there is damn low. I can achieve more when using the conventional method as compared to PBL.
6) You need some acting skills to get good grades.

7) You need to por the facilitators to get good grades too.
