Seven Properties Of Highly Effective Problems, Thomas Ales, Kevin Peterson, Constantine Roussos
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
In an effort to provide more critical thinking opportunities in their courses, instructors are embracing the power of problem- and project-based learning (PBL). In this paper we address the importance of problem quality when utilizing PBL. We list seven important properties that a high-quality problem should have. We conclude with an example of a problem that possesses all seven properties.

Armed with an overwhelming accumulation of data about disease, how can we ensure that they will all be employed effectively to make a correct diagnosis in a particular patient? The use of electronic computers can be of some help in the collation, correlation, storage, and communication of the accumulated information, but we must be careful in instructing the machinery so we will not one day find a monster whose behavior is unpredictable. A reasonable procedure would be to analyse our own thought processes carefully to ascertain how the human diagnostician arrives at his conclusions. The matter is certainly not settled …
