Hi Patricia, I taught CIS (Programming, A&D, E-commerce, MIS) amongst other IS courses for 9 years before moving into the Management side last year. TBL, in conjuction with using the 4 S's to design group tasks, was very useful in all my classes. Even in programming, which was the most individual type of task, I used the RAT procedure to test their understanding of new logic concepts and basic syntax. I kept the group work as experiential as possible. Mary Dr. Mary McCord 405G Dockery Hall University of Central Missouri Warrensburg, MO 64093 (660) 422-2857
