[quote=Anonymous]1) teachers don't have time to develop and mentor kids in projects 2) poorly designed projects are at best a waste of time, and at worst ingrain misconceptions 3) Who is going to grade these things? I teach chemistry. In order to teach them the material that colleges expect them to know and the skills they expect them to be able to perform I use every minute of the year plus a whole lot more. Any one project done correctly would require several hours of additional work on my behalf PER STUDENT to get the same content mastery. I've got more than 150 students, so my choices are no projects or horrible projects that waste time and energy, dumb down the instruction and dilute the learning. [/quote]
