Problem-based learning has become the norm for much of medical education, yet other disciplines are slower to adopt it.  I muse about how to integrate PBL (as if is called) into the on-line psychology teaching environment and consider student objections.  This essay was prompted by the comments of two students who were strongly opposed to PBL and gave me the opportunity to reflect upon its strengths and weaknesses.
