Here are my general thoughts about TBL.
TBL should be considered as one element of a positive engaging learning environment - not necessarily the only thing. There are clearly many activities that require either demonstration of individual work (like writing a paper, taking a summative test, performing a procedure) or more time (like team-based project work) that clearly cannot be done within a typical TBL framework. However, TBL can help build the necessary skills to manage the individual or project work. So for your project - think about how the TBL elements can help to prepare them to do the project and that can be done in class. Use TBL to help the teams problem solve, critique, analyse, evaluate, etc elements of the skill you want them to have or objectives to achieve, so that when they are doing their project they can approach it at a higher cognitive level.

Subject: using TBL in computer science curriculum
I teach upper level courses in a computer science curriculum that involve large programming projects, which I have been assigning to teams. These projects typically require more collaboration among the team members than can be accomplished in class, yet the TBL recommendations are that the collaboration take place during the meeting period. The problem is compounded because many of our students are commuters, some with jobs and families, so meeting in groups outside of the class meeting time is difficult.
I am wondering how others using TBL within a computer science curriculum have adapted.it. Any advice or suggestions, including those beyond this specific problem, would be apprecieated.
Thanks!
