Student comments

Some comments from students who took the course in 2002:

Positive:

Flexible schedule
I liked the independence to choose our own resources and direct our own learning
I have left with an in-depth knowledge of human physiology
I learned a lot and felt ownership for what I learned
I found working on a group problem to be an excellent method to learn
I brushed up on both my problem solving and self directed learning skills
For some people it was their first chance to develop confidence and leadership skills as well as public speaking skills.
The writing and editing of the report was frustrating but very beneficial
It was nice working with others that had different backgrounds

Negative:

Groups were too large / groups of 10 are ridiculous
Some people do more work than others
An engineering course in human physiology should not be based on self directed learning.
The 'one person presents' thing is nice in that it gets everyone to learn everything but it adds such unnecessary stress to some people
