At the Medical College of Wisconsin, we are transitioning to TBL as the primary 
method of student engagement as we are at the same time integrating our 
basic and clinical sciences in the first two years.  We've read what we can 
from a variety of sources, including searching this listserve, but are still not 
clear on whether institutions actually grade (or assign points) the application 
exercises.  

In most of the discussions around Setting Grade Weights, IRATs and TRATS 
have individual line items, but the application exercises usually do not.  Is this 
because you do not provide grades based on the quality of the choice made 
and/or the reasoining given by the team?  The concern that has been 
expressed is that if students know they are not "graded" on the application 
exercise, they will skip that portion of the classtime.  Is the Peer Evaluation 
process really enough to ensure that students do not "skip out" on this highly 
valuable activity?

Any suggestions/guidance will be greatly appreciated!
