Speaking of team evaluations . . .
How do most people handle them? Do you provide feedback for all
students or only those who ask for team comments? Do you give hard
copies or only report results orally? Do you edit in any way (e.g.,
obvious spelling errors, redact especially mean-spirited comments,
etc.)?
Thanks.

Gang,
As the term comes screeching to a close, I thought it might be nice
to share an out-of-the-blue e-mail I just got from a first-time TBL
user:
"Dear Michael,
I loved the team evaluations. Students were very tactful and funny.
It doesn't get any better when a student tells another student that
they need to come to class more often!"
I know, it's nothing earth-shattering for those of us in the TBL
world, but amidst all the grind and groan of the usual resistance,
sometimes the quiet but cheerful energy of the newly-converted can
put a little spring back into one's step.
