I have been using TBL for about two years in teaching philosophy and
theology classes, but I'm still looking for some specific examples of graded
group assignments in these disciplines. Any examples to forward?

  I use team based learning in an introductory microeconomics course.  I use
RATs and I use lots of little "pick the right answer" sort of questions
throughout class as a way to get the students to discuss the basic concepts
and fairly straight forward real world examples.  So, rather than me saying,
"Here's an example that goes like this...", I say, "Here's an example, what
is it showing...." or "Is this illustrating X, Y, or Z?  What can you
conclude about this?"  or "What are some examples of this concept?"  Then I
use more detailed activities as their level of understanding advances.  I've
been doing it for several years now and the vast majority of the students
really like it.

    I'm using teaming learning in a senior level course called "Analyzing
Business Opportunities".  Does anyone have any experience in teaching an
entrepreneurship or strategy class?  If so, any tips?

    Also, I was curious about how team based learning could be used in lower
division courses like Western Civ or American History.  Can anybody direct
me to some examples?
