PBL - 14

What an eventful day! Today, i had my group's final presentation rehearsals for both PBL1 and PBL2.

Yixiang wanted PBL2 presenters to practice first as the final presentation is tomorrow. We had a blast from our side. Ni Jun gave an excellent introduction to the heart valve design. Oh boy! he improved a lot over the semester. He really can articulate his ideas now. Also, I finally resolved the mystery of who between the Swiss duo is presenting for PBL2.

When it was the turn for PBL1, Yixiang seemed patchy and unprepared for his part. He couldn't kick off well and was stammering most of the time. I chipped in between, and showed him a sample of how to present the introduction. Everyone agreed that Yixiang should present along my lines. Yixiang humored us by imitating my style and voice of presentation. Although it was quite funny, we suggested him to have his own way of presentation.

Olvier gave the conclusion for PBL1 highlighting the advantages and limitations of the ImagineMove system.

Thank God, everything turned out fine. Just 2 more days, and then we will be done with PBL.

Yippie, i had a fun time this sem doing PBLs. Hope others in my group and rest of the class had fun too. I learnt lot of things about MMIs and heart valves. Man, if i had any say, i would recommend that most of the graduate courses should incorporate the PBL component.

I had fun blogging all this while. Hope others can appreciate and learn something about PBLs from my blog.

For world peace, i prayeth. Happy blogging!
