What impressed you positively?

"Drexel is really progressive in its teaching style. Not only do they do SYMPTOM based learning they also let you choose a teaching style that best serves you, i.e. their PIL or IFM programs. The IFM program is very normal where you are spoon fed. large amounts of information in subject blocks. The PIL program is a problem based learning program where you generate the information you think you need to learn with a faculty facilitator. " Report Response
