Critique: Research aims

This section neatly synthesizes the theoretical background of problem-based teaching, the context it will be applied and the problems the authors wish to address.

As we mentioned earlier in the introduction I do feel a brief overview of the research methodology is important. For example: participant numbers, length of study, was it qualitative or quantitative or a mixed-methods approach, research instruments used. Even bullet pointing these, to signpost that they are expanded upon in the next section would have been informative.
