Project Based Learning

The Good Hassle of Projects 

Projects may seem like a complete enervating nuisance at their very outset. However, projects spur within students the ability to think critically, research smartly, choose correctly, and invest their time wisely.
Projects provide students with the following competent assets:
  • Problem solving
  • critical thinking
  • collaboration 
  • Communication
  • Creativity/Innovation 
Projects allow for the possibility of wide research and academic enquiry by positing open-ended questions that do not allow for a closed answer; close-ended questions usually come down to a 'yes' or 'no' answer whence you can simply circumvent annexing to them further critical and innovative thought. Consequently, autonomous learning and inquiry is nullified. In projects, everything is opened to the students innovation-- to the students creativity, where mere abstractions will not suffice, but only expatiating ideas.
