When I teach math, I make sure the students understand smaller concepts, then I give them problems that integrate the concepts so they can practice that. The old style just gave the integrative problems without the more basic problems, and only worked for students who were highly motivated and/ or had outside help (cliff notes have always been popular, even though brown-nosing students never admit to using them). The old style was good at "weeding out"...
