MAILING LISTS

Hello Tony,
Based on my novice experience designing and co-facilitating a TBL course I
wouldn't recommend starting with 3 courses. Despite the fact that my courses
have always been learner-centred, and I always used groups and cases I still
had many adjustments/transitions to make (even to my own way of thinking
about issues such as peer assessment - which I had always avoided like the
plague). However I embraced the principles and practices of TBL. A course
co-facilitator and I actually did a presentation on our experience with TBL
at the recent Canadian Network for Innovation in Education (CNIR)
conference. Included in our presentation were lessons learned. 

I don't teach in the Business Faculty, however if you would like me to send
the course syllabus to review (it's a health science course 'Communication
for Health Professionals') I'd be pleased to do so,

Subject: Recent sample syllabus for an undergraduate or graduate (MBA)
organizational behavior or management course

Hello,
I am working this summer on transitioning my three MBA Org behavior courses
to the TBL approach.  They are not the same courses since one is for a full
time MBA course (12 weeks) for students with no previous business
experience, one is for a junior executive 10 week MBA course, and the other
is for an 8 week senior executive MBA course.

My questions are:

1.  Is it too risky to transition all three courses to TBL in the fall or is
it recommended to do one at a time?

2.  I am unclear on the pacing of the readings and cases during the semester
using a TBL approach.  i have seen Larry Michaelsen's 2001 Org behavior
undergrad syllabus and this is very helpful.  

3.  I am wondering if anyone is willing to share a more recent syllabus for
a business undergrad or MBA course that uses cases in a TBL context.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Tony Mento
