Hi David
We did a graduate research methods course….we expected 10 and got 3
One team of 3….It worked…teacher basically play devils advocate after every Application Activity….the RAP's work really well…
I think the iRAT and tRAT have great value in this setting….maybe even more than in settings where more teams means better application activities
iRAT….all about individual accountability…we still want that….so I would use them
tRAT….peer teaching, negotiating, use of language (putting my thoughts into words), peer accountability….we still want that…so I would use them

Subject: TBL in a Small, Small Class
I have used TBL in small classes for a couple of years, but this semester I have a class that will probably have only 7 students. I know that I should have 5-7 students in a team, but will TBL work with one team of 7 students? For those of you who have taught a class this small, what adjustments did you make to TBL? For example, with only one team, is there any value in having both the iRAT and the tRAT?
Thanks.
