MAILING LISTS

I helped with a grad research methods TBL class that had 3 students (1
team)....we had hoped for 8....to get 2 teams

Not perfect but good questions and activities were still
useful...instructor many times found herself in devil's advocate
position...interrogating teams decision....kind of was socratic
dialogue...as much as TBL

Small was NOT perfect....but still better than lecturing :-)
