Project-Based Learning and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) are question-driven pedagogical approaches that ask students to engage in real-life projects in their chosen fields that require both independent effort and teamwork. In PBL, instructors present students with a professional problem to solve.  Students then investigate these problems, define goals, and build critical extensive and practical knowledge bases under the instructor’s guidance. PBL is a particularly appropriate pedagogy to support John Jay’s Masters’ level students in developing the skills they need to succeed in their current and future professions.
