Hi All,
I'm currently redesigning some assessment tasks for a 2nd year course. I'll be using TBL in 3 sessions in the course (the students embraced it in 1st yr) but my question is directed at how to integrate TBL into an assessment task.
The students have traditionally done a lit review of a scenario relating to horse health. Each year many have struggled with critically reviewing literature, and this year I want to scaffold them more. What I envisage is:

-          annotated bibliographies

-          individual students to annotate 3 original scientific articles relevant to an essay question (I'm thinking something like 'What are the main risk factors for colic in horses'). They would have time to do this during tutorials. It would be worth individual marks.

-          Each TBL team will review the scientific articles from its individual members, and come up with a list of 10 (?) scientific articles of the highest quality to answer the question.

-          Each TBL team would then write a short essay (? No of words) to answer the question.

-          We'd finish up with a galley walk and each team would assess the 10 scientific articles and the short essay of the other teams and give marks.

-          Finally we'd do simultaneous reporting to decide on the best 10 articles and the best essay.
Has anybody done something similar? I know during a workshop last year in Adelaide Larry Michaelsen mentioned something similar.
Thanks,
Susan
