Assessment for this model is easier than for some, the teacher just gives students problems to solve using the newly learned skill The difficulty lies in creating good problems for the students to solve. Problems must be relevant, clear, and concise Create assignments, quizzes and tests that you as a teacher believe will best gauge the students comprehension of the content
Teacher is able to show online tutorials to students, showing them real-time ways to solve problems similar to those in class There is a lot of involvement in this model on the studens behalves, which in some cases can motivate the students. Students success is encouraged and problem solving challenges motivate students
This model is a chance for teachers to take the old lecture style instruction and revolutionize it to motivate students learning and comprehension of the content.
