Blow the Ballast! Wonderful! Give it five minutes. A few years ago I used to be a hothead. Whenever anyone said anything, I’d think of a way to disagree.

We have created a new course (based on the “Puzzle-Based Learning” book) that focuses on getting students to think about framing and solving unstructured problems. We believe that the course is based on the best traditions introduced by Gyorgy Polya and Martin Gardner during the last 60 years. The course can be offered as a full semester course or as a unit – part of an introductory course (e.g. Introduction to Engineering, or Introduction to Business). The course follows the text: each week in the semester (for a full semester course) or each single lecture (in the unit version of the course) corresponds to one chapter of the book.
Thus during each of the first three lectures a single problem-solving rule is discussed. To enhance student engagement and participation, many of the assignments can be based on software versions of some puzzles and provided to students in the form of serious games. Finally, power-point slides and other teaching materials are available on request.
