Iąd keep then in the same teams across all 3 courses. They (and your
faculty) will reap the benefits from the positive team dynamics forming
sooner as they are working together on a regular basis.  Our pharmacy
students use TBL in most of their courses and stay with the same teams
across these courses for the entire year, with positive results. We
allocate them to new teams for subsequent years. We also carry out the
peer evaluation process once, across all courses. The logistics for you
and the students will be so much easier too

Best wishes

Simon
