Disadvantage of Project -
Based Approaches:
• Project – Based Approaches usually requires
longer amounts of classroom time and more
teacher preparation, so plan accordingly. If
you generally lecture and lead whole-class
discussions, then PBL learning will probably
seem “messy,” so brace yourself for some
initial angst.
