Hello Jennifer:
Among others, the questions that interest me are these:
1. Which do you prefer? Small group discussion or lecture.
2. This course has had too much / too little lecture / discussion . .
. or about the right balance?
I have found that, when students are asked to reflect on the mix
directly in this way, they overwhelmingly recognize the value of TBL.
Of course, there is always a small percentage (very small, in my
experience) who prefer one or the other, but if you share the results
with your students, then even the lecture-lovers or the group-cheerers
see the wisdom of TBL strategies.
I realize that these questions may be more appropriate for a mid-term
formative evaluation than for a final summative one, but I thought that
you might be interested.

No, but I would be interested in this type of evaluation question as
well. Also, I would appreciate evaluation questions given to medical
students at the end of their clerkship to re-evaluate perceptions of
the
usefulness of their pre-clinical course.

Subject: evaluating TBL
I always have my students do a course evaluation that asks questions
about the specific course (that is, versus the generic evaluations
that my university requires the students complete online for every
course). I'm just curious if there are questions about TBL that folks
have on their course evaluations that they have found particularly
helpful for getting useful feedback?
thanks,
Jennifer
