Monitoring of laboratory work problem based project implementation

Prior to the implementation of problem based project laboratory work for “Material Technology” course, we had identified free riders and lack of understanding on the relationship between individual lab works with the problem to be solved. The students´ performances in problem solving and lack of understanding on the relationship between individual lab works with the problem to be solved is monitored on each cohort based on the relationship between the laboratory report marks and the final exam questions marks related to the lab work. It is found that free riders are reduced based on the monitoring of the relationship mentioned above.
