Hello-

I am a new user of TBL. This is the first semester I’ve used this method. I teach respiratory therapy. This course is all about mechanical ventilation and critical care medicine. I guess my questions posed to this group are two-fold: 1^st, if anyone on this list is teaching either RT or nursing, and would care to share ideas for group exercises, I would appreciate any input. Secondly, I am a bit confused about grading of the peer evals at the end of the course. I have groups of 5 students. If they each evaluate the other members to assign a percentage of the total points of 100 do I just add up each of the 4 scores and then multiple that by the percentage the class assigned to that facet of this experience? Hope that doesn’t sound incredibly lame....

Thanks-
