MAILING LISTS

Michael et al,
I have been using a flat but straight forward question for the past
year amid the other questions on my end of quarter eval that just asks
the students to do a Likert rating on the statement "The Team Based
Learning structure of the course helped me learn." Often students
volunteer comments good/bad on TBL in the open ended "any other
comments" freeform question at the end.

I have started putting together a faculty resource website on tools,
topics and techniques and have put my anonymous data and student
positive comments on the page:
http://sites.google.com/site/demovtlc/teaching-techniques/team-based-learning
I would appreciate any other resources and feedback any of you would
have for me on how to improve this resource for our folks here.
Apologies to Jim for stealing his excellent graphic of TBL v.
traditional... it really captures it so well!

Thanks and Happy New Year! :)
