I'm glad we don't have PBL in my med school basic science. We did have it for my undergrad years and half the group slept during the Friday afternoon meetings! Interesting vid and so true.

The most time efficient way to learn the stuff was to bear down and memorize the stuff in a quiet place then go play some basketball or surf. I would not have been able to withstand sitting around a table with 80% of my classmates. Wow, am I glad we did not have PBL when I went to school.
