A problem is given to you to solve, which is related to your
course. Give me some time to think of an example to show you.
Here's the link to show you how we work:

After you read the problem, you will list out what you know, what
you don't know and what you need to find out. This lasts for about
15 minutes and the teacher (formal: facilitator) will discuss it
with the class. You will then go for a half hour break.
After this break, you will do your worksheet, research and
powerpoint. The teacher will also be in the room to help you out by
giving out hints. At around 11.30am (latest by 12pm), the teacher
will leave and you will be on your own. This stage is called second
meeting by us.
From 11.30am to 2pm, you will continue what you are doing in the
second meeting, with lunch in between. Third meeting will start at
2pm or latest by 2.30pm. During this meeting, you will be
presenting your findings to the class and questions will be asked
to test your understanding (by your classmates as well as the
teacher). The meeting will end with the teacher presenting. This is
usually called 6P by the teachers.
After the third meeting, you will do a short quiz (15 to 30
minutes), an evaluation and a reflection journal. A reflection
journal usually will ask you to reflect on what you have learnt or
some funny questions to relieve stress.
Note: We work in teams, not individually.
