Problem Based Learning/Team Based Learning
there may be other wordings for these TLA's but that's the general idea. I'm guessing that how much is lecture vs group work (and therefore optional/mandatory attendance) will shift from one class and professor to another, so I doubt they'll give any percentages.
At 2nd look they did say that attendance would be more important, but they avoided saying mandatory. We are required to have laptops to bring to class for quizzes and tests, and I think it's clear they will be expecting a large increase in attendance for the next year. If it is truly a lecture day, I don't think they will make you come to class, but hard to say how often that will be the case.
Hope this helps!
Did they say what a typical day would look like in terms of hours? I'm a non-trad with two kids and trying to decide if a curriculum with so much TBL will require me to be on campus much more than other schools...
