Re keeping the faster teams in class:  Keep them engaged.  Give them a sponge activity, an extra ungraded activity that engages them with the material that can be shared later with the teams that took longer on the RAT.

Re addressing problem areas later:  good to do it while fresh, but it doesn't hurt, and may even help the learning process, if they struggle with a concept and have to think about it for a while longer before getting clarification.  Or even if they walk out the door and don't think about it again until the next class, seeing the concept again and thinking about it anew will help the learning process.

Subject: TBL in 50 minute class

During my reading assessments with 50min. classes, frequently I do not have sufficient time to lecture/discuss problem areas. On these days I lecture the next class, but obviously its no longer fresh in their minds -- which is a big loss to the TBL method.

I would like any feedback on the option of letting those teams that finish early leave upon completion if I am not going to have sufficient time to discuss. On the one hand, I hate to keep them for no reason, but I am concerned that this will create an environment in which other groups rush and don't full discuss each question.

Any thoughts on this specific question or tips and tricks for TBL in a 50 min. class would be greatly appreciated. FYI - this is my first semester using TBL & I am using in an introductory Econ course. Thanks,

Michael
