Good afternoon,

I’d like to point any interested TBL practitioners to a new TBL video testimonial that you can now view on-line at the University at Albany website. Kristen Hessler teaches a large philosophy class (138 students) and has been working on making it more engaging and interactive using the Michaelsen approach. In this series of clips she describes the journey through the challenges and triumphs of an implementation, with some very sharply rendered details. If you still have doubters on your campus, this testimony brings TBL into the realm of possibility—especially for teachers of large classes.
