What impressed you negatively?

some people in our PBL case were very aggressive which hinders other people from talking and being able to voice what they think of the case... which kinda blows... hope they take that in consideration!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how aggressive people might be.. LOL

What are your general comments?

be yourself.. you should be fine. if you get people that are too overly aggressive in your group.. just let them talk. it's not cool to talk over others and cut people off. take charge but also step back so others can get a chance to talk. pbl is teamwork.. not someone who tries to take full control all the time. be chill/respectful and r e l a x.
