Reflections on PBL II

Three weeks left and PBL has indeed served us well as an organised, efficient and comprehensive approach to projects with FILA (see previous Reflections on PBL). We have become accustomed to the process and can now draw up a chart in half the time we needed before.

With PBL, we see no boundaries in the project and are therefore always improving on it. As such, the work norm has evolved from "meeting requirements" to "better" - pushing us to realise our website's true potential. Also, PBL encourages sharing amongst classmates, which promotes giving and taking, and allows us to learn from one another on top of the facilitator.

However, it is unnecessary for FILA to be applied for all problems as the steps involved are sometimes, few, plain and straightforward, and we waste time mulling over ways to fill in the chart in such circumstances.
