Using Scenarios to get students problem solving
Each year, 140 to 160
students, working in groups of six or seven, take on an 鈥渙pen-ended, complex
and ill-defined鈥 real-world problem, based on the topics they are covering
during that term. The students are tasked with the on a Monday and then given a full week to
come up with a solution, attending formal 鈥榗lient meetings鈥 and facilitation
drop-in sessions along the way, before submitting their findings 鈥 usually as a
report and a presentation - by the end of the week on the Friday.
