I have developed a very simple rubric that allows me to assign a lower grade when a team is clearly doing "divide and conquer" rather than working together. I teach smaller undergraduate biology courses and find that my new grading system works pretty well and encouraging the kind of behaviors we are trying to instill through TBL. Let me know if you are interested in the rubric and I would be happy to share.
