This section of Fireside has already paid off big-time for me. I've let students browse through the issues to choose their Problem-based Learning activities, and to get ideas for more.
Can't say enough about the power of this form of learning. Students simply love it.
Please post interesting problems here, problems that are complex and filled with variables...
