I'll be attending IU this fall. During my interview day, the subject of Indiana's "problem based learning" curriculum came up. Of course it sounded pretty good at the time, but then again, I really don't know much about the difference between a PBL curriculum and the other curriculums offered at various other schools.
I know the courses offered at Indiana seem to differ from other universities; for example, Indiana offers the course "Integrative Optometry" and others like it where ICO offers "Human Anatomy" and other courses more familiar to course titles I take at my undergraduate university.
Is there really that big of difference between the two schools teaching styles? Will I learn all the anatomy taught at ICO's Human Anatomy course in one of IU's classes with a different name? And if it won't, will it matter?
Any info on PBL, IU's courses, or anything on those issues will be greatly appreciated.
