The case of Javed Iqbal, an alleged serial killer, attracted great attention around the world. Killing of even one person is a heinous act, but here is a man attributed with about a hundred cold-blooded murders of persons of young and tender ages. In the examination of this world renown case, Dr. Sohail has taken pains to examine this shocking episode from the point of view of a psychiatrist. As William J. McCormack, Chief of Police (Ret.), Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, Canada says, "During my career on the Homicide Squad of the Metropolitan Toronto Police, I solved over 100 murders but never have I seen a crime so riddled with unanswered questions as this one. The entire question of the rise of serial killers across the world should be everyone’s concern including their upbringing, psychology and environment, but most importantly, the increasing danger they present to society and to those who dedicate themselves "To Serve and Protect." Sohail has travelled a long journey in distance and depth to explore and uncover the motivation and working of the troubled mind of a killer. In his book, drawing from world literature, he skillfully presents the analysis of experts in the field of human abnormal behavior. His own interpretation of the killer’s state of mind, which is based on his years of experience in the helping profession, creates an insightful and absorbing story.

One-Day, One-Problem An Approach to Problem-based Learning


Free Download One-Day, One-Problem: An Approach to Problem-based Learning By Elaine H. J. Yew, Glen O’Grady (auth.), Glen O’Grady, Elaine H.J. Yew, Karen P.L. Goh, Henk G. Schmidt (eds.)

One-day, one-problem is a unique adaptation of problem-based learning (PBL) pioneered at Republic Polytechnic, Singapore. Here students are challenged each day with a problem from their domain and attain the necessary learning outcomes in the process of responding to the problem. Throughout the day students would engage in small group discussions, self-directed learning and conversations with their teacher who plays the role of a facilitator. This approach to learning and instruction represents a new brand of constructivist learning in a more structured learning environment compared to conventional PBL. This book contains a series of chapters by authors with first-hand experience in the One-day,one-problem PBL approach. Unlike other books on PBL, the chapters are both research-informed and practical. Results of empirical studies into the factors of PBL such as quality of problems, tutor behaviours, scaffoldings, student learning and interest are discussed together with practical implications for the educator.The book begins with an overview of the one-day, one-problem process, providing a viewpoint from both the student and tutor. Republic Polytechnic’s pedagogical philosophy and epistemological belief of education are introduced with the intent to share how the polytechnic designed and implemented a system that supports the philosophical beliefs. Results and practical implications of empirical studies on the various factors that influence students’ learning in PBL are discussed. These include the quality of problems and the use of scaffoldings for students’ learning, tutors as facilitators, preparation of staff for PBL, student assessment, how students learn in the process of PBL and student interest.
