Hello Jennifer: Among others, the questions that interest me are these: 1. Which do you prefer? Small group discussion or lecture. 2. This course has had too much / too little lecture / discussion . . . or about the right balance? I have found that, when students are asked to reflect on the mix directly in this way, they overwhelmingly recognize the value of TBL. Of course, there is always a small percentage (very small, in my experience) who prefer one or the other, but if you share the results with your students, then even the lecture-lovers or the group-cheerers see the wisdom of TBL strategies. I realize that these questions may be more appropriate for a mid-term formative evaluation than for a final summative one, but I thought that you might be interested.

Also, I would appreciate evaluation questions given to medical students at the end of their clerkship to re-evaluate perceptions of the usefulness of their pre-clinical course. Amanda R.

I'm just curious if there are questions about TBL that folks have on their course evaluations that they have found particularly helpful for getting useful feedback? thanks, Jennifer **************************** Jennifer Imazeki Department of Economics San Diego State University homepage: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~jimazeki/ Economics for Teachers blog: http://economicsforteachers.blogspot.com This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
