I completely agree with Peter. Anything less would be somewhat like expecting students to internalize TBL from a lecture about it. In fact I go a step further. My test drive RAT is over the syllabus and the first application is applying what they've read (and have been tested about) as they set grade weights for the class. One other application that I like is applying the 4-S's by having them decide on the single most compelling reason for using the procedures through which their teams were formed.

Dear Bill and Amanda,
I think that the best way to explain TBL to a class is to give them the experience. I give students a “test drive” (with just five questions) in the very first class immediately after having formed teams. Teams use all the materials as I step them through a PowerPoint presentation that explains in detail what they need to do. I also support this with a detailed website that describes the TBL process and rationale.
Please contact me direct if you would like a copy of my presentation.

Good question. After just explaining to a new class I'd like to see also

Does anyone have a printed student guide that explains TBL? Since only myself and one other person use TBL at our institution, it seems that I can never explain TBL thoroughly enough. I thought some printed materials might be helpful so students are less trepidatious about the experience.
Thank you,
Amanda
