摘要
Numbers of articles document the power of problem-based learning in promoting various facets of student learning, yet many faculty are still hesitant to use this pedagogy. Balancing the complexity of the classroom dynamic in student-centered strategies and the content demands of our discipline with our personal philosophy of teaching is a challenging task. In this article I share my personal insights in adopting problem-based learning in an undergraduate survey course in biochemistry and the rewards and challenges that this pedagogy posed for my students and for me. I offer a rationale for adopting a holistic model of teaching that takes into account both our students' and our own intellectual and personal growth in the classroom.
