MAILING LISTS

Hi all--

I am trying out TBL for the first time in a very small graduate class (11 students). I love it, but I have a couple of questions.

First, I regularly get challenges on my questions, and most of them are pretty decent points. Sometimes, they argue that there is no right answer, or point out that one of the "wrong" answers could work in some situations. However, if I take out the offending items, some students actually get lower scores. How do you address challenges, both using points and deciding whether or not to grant credit?

Second, I have one group that works very quickly, and one that takes some time. As a result, one group sits around for quite a while before the other group has a decision. How do you manage this? Do you try to do something productive with the other group while they are sitting, or do you just not worry about it? I am concerned that they will find this approach a poor use of their time since they spend so much time waiting.

Thanks!
