PBL Assignment Instructions

Here are some evaluation guidelines that may help you when writing your mini-review.

iWRITE is now available for students to check out past mini- reviews.

Students in CSB349H can use iWRITE to view samples of mini-reviews with detailed instructor comments. Use this site to help plan your own approach to the mini-review assignment, noting the strengths and weaknesses evident in the samples. To use this site, you can just click on the iWRITE tab in the course Blackboard site. Alternatively, you can go to http://iwrite.utoronto.ca/login and use your student number as login and password.

Please keep in mind that the referencing style in the iWRITE samples is not the style you are to use this year. Please see pages 19-20 of the CSB349 course manual for information about the ICMJE referencing style.

Instructions for your PBL proposal due the week of October 5th are available here.

Instructions for the mini-review due the week of October 26th, can be found here.

For the citation and referencing style please see pages 19-20 in your CSB349 course manual.
