<p>"Adults learning by doing" and so do students.&nbsp; Most of my students get very motivated in lecture or lab when they have to mentally or physically solve a problem or make a project or do both.&nbsp; I have found that "problem solving" is an excellent method to teach students concepts that are otherwise sometimed missed during lecture.&nbsp; Participation increases 10X as soon as students are allowed to go into the lab to work on a project or solve a problem associated with a project.&nbsp; This combined with collabrative learning allows students to develop collabrative relationships with each other that are so important for the critical thinking process to work.&nbsp; Learning how to develop these collabrative relationships in school with allow them to build upon them later in life in their careers/business line.&nbsp;</p>
