Welcome to our class DEV. 320A I am delighted to have you in this class for this semester. This course is deliberately designed to conform to the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) mode of delivery. PBL, learning, and teaching approach that Daystar University has recently adopted provides learners with opportunities to identify solutions to ill-structured, real-world problems. We shall all be learning to learn, so let us commit to being available and supporting one another in the learning process. I look forward to a meaningful interaction throughout the semester.
