Dear Amanda,
Our colleague Dr. Dalia El Sayed in the College of Pharmacy taught a course using TBL last year and she got great results; she also gave workshops on campus to spread the use of TBL. I think she can have some answers for you. She’s cced on this email if you want to get directly in touch.
My best,
Dalal

Subject: TBL and World Regional Geography
Dear TBLers,
I'm very new to TBL but am introducing to my core courses this semester (I've identified 5 TBL "weeks'). I've not had any training, just been reading books and articles and chatting with a few geography folks who are also trying TBL. I've got a large question. In a world regional geography course we are trying to get students to think like geographers which means that we need to encourage them to draw from both environmental and human geography elements to understand an issue. There's not always a right way of figuring something, but if you can bring on a broad set of skills and disciplines you can do some creative geography. So, I'm having a hard time coming up with a team assignment that has a single right answer.
I got "around" that issue in my first TBL which asks students to prepare a memo for a congressperson (students are congressional aides) that lays out pros and cons and recommends a policy. I had students assess each group's memos and grade them using a rubric we all shared - I'm no w working on grading that assignment. Anyone got ideas about how I might think about developing future team assignments.
Manda
