Thanks for your help and quick
response, Karla.
I am teaching relatively small
classes – 30-35 students. My students are freshmen and sophomores in different
(micro, macro, trade) introductory classes.
Best,
Jasminka

Hi Jasminka,
What sort of class and student
population are you working with? Some find starting with the IRAT/ GRAT a
good place to begin. It would take some time on your part to work through
the reading material that you’d like students to read and make questions that
lead the students to some place you’d like them to go (i.e., something you’d
like them to be able to know/ do when they’re done). The other
alternative would be to start with an application exercise (or a few). It
might be easier (and maybe less scary to students). You could either
choose to grade or choose not to grade them. The idea would be to ask the
students to apply the course material that you’d lectured over. That’s
why I asked about the kind of course/ student you’re working with.
Knowing that would make it easier to think about what you’d want to ask
students to DO with your knowledge base. Keep asking questions. The
TBL list is usually very helpful. Good luck exploring TBL. Karla

Hi Y’all!
I am new to the concept and practice of TBL and would like
to try it but in small increments. Anyone with experience/suggestions
which elements of TBL to introduce first, second and…
Thanks for any help.
