From reading books and articles, and some of the archives here, it's
apparent that some instructors don't grade team application exercises. For
those who do: how do you grade them? I'm thinking of both the "one-topic"
exercises that ask teams to make a choice from a list of options, then
defend their choice in the general class discussion. Is the choice graded?
That seems to be against the spirit of TBL, somehow. Is the defense graded,
instead? Something else? I'm mystified.

The integrative exercises seem more grade-able to me, since there is more
likely to be some team "product" to evaluate. Does anyone have any example
they can share with me?
