I am in my 3rd semester of using TBL. Am finding it quite useful but have some kinks to work out.
I have students do group projects during class time---- about 120 minutes hours spread over two classes. I repeatedly tell students they need to prepare their personal preliminary answers BEFORE coming to class so that they can discuss, compare, and develop the best answer as the group answer. After the group project is turned in, each group member allocates points to each other member according to how much they contributed to submitting good group answer.
The issue: Students comment that they are too rushed to get the group projects done within the allotted class time.
At the same time, several students have also commented that group members are frequently NOT well prepared to do the project when they walk in to class.
Obviously, if they come better individually prepared, they will not be so rushed to turn in the group answer.
How to motivate them to individually prepare better?
Thanks in advance.
