Hi David,
I might have something that could help. However, before I send
anything, I'd like to know more about the extent of your experience with
TBL and what aspects of the process you are using. Also, I don't think
the problem is likely to have been students' maturity. Based on my
experience, when something like this happens the problem is in the way I
set things up. My questions:
1) How long (years/courses) have you been using TBL?
2) Are you using RATs and, if so, are using the IF-AT answer sheets for
the team test? How many RATs are you using?
3) Was this particular team dysfunctional on everything--or just some
of the time? If some of the time, on what kinds of
activities/assignments did they struggle?
4) Are the majority of your application activities designed around the
three "S's" (i.e., Same Problem, Specific Choice, Simultaneous Report)?

Hi all,
This past fall I had one team that did not work well. They seemed to
have trouble getting organized and keeping on task in class.
Some teams do quite well and I attribute much of it to being older,
more
experienced, and even having some training in team building and
organizing.
I would like to give my students so they can keep on track,
substantively. Does anyone have a brief, ie, one page, handout for
the
students on how to get organized and keep organized in your team? I
would appreciate any help, direct or direction to another source, on
this matter.
Regards,
David Smith
