Journal of General Education, v51 n4 p257-271 2002

Describes the problem-based learning (PBL) format adopted by the communications program at Samford University in Alabama. Consists of two semester classes, the first being an introduction to speaking and writing, and the second emphasizing research and argumentation. States that the PBL approach to the course connects service learning to writing assignments. (Contains 11 references.) (NB)
