Have you considered doing a "sample" RAP (which does not count) bsaed on a short reading that they do at the beginning of class? I do this in my intro session (which is about a month before the course starts, I snuck into someone else's course to do this, easy in med school when students all do the same mandatory courses) and it allows them to become comfortable with the process.

Subject: what to do on second day of class
I'm trying TBL for the first time this coming fall. The class meets MWF and the term starts on a Wednesday. I don't think that gives the students enough time (between Wed and Friday) to do the reading for the first RAP. I figure I should give them until that next Monday. So what do I do on Friday?
