Hello, all.

For the past couple of years I have been using a modified form of TBL in my theatre history class.  So far, I have determined the grading scale for the class rather than having the teams determine it (currently:  70% individual; 20% team; 10% team maintenance). I think I'm ready to try letting the teams set the scale (especially since I've got a very small class this time - probably no more than 22-24).

Is it beneficial for me to set minimums (e.g., at least 50% individual, at least 10% team maintenance, etc.)?

What kind of problems/issues might I expect to encounter?  (It is almost guaranteed that none of the students will have taken a TBL course before this).

Anything else I should be prepared for?

Thanks.

Tim
