I just received end of semester student evaluations for fall 2010 semester. Some students did not "buy into" the TBL theory of teaching. I did my best to explain the justification for using TBL during the first week of class. More specifically, I used 1.) the process described in the attached document First-Day Questions for the Learner-Centered Classroom by Gary A. Smith (National Teaching and Learning Forum, Sept. 2008) and 2.) the video from U. of Texas (http://magenta.cit.utexas.edu/largeclasses/#tbl<http://magenta.cit.utexas.edu/largeclasses/%23tbl>) . Still, some students think they should be lectured to every class and, also, think they are being short- changed by a professor that uses TBL. I have interacted with Larry Michaelsen over the years and have watched the videos at http://tblc.camp9.org/TBLVideos Please advise me of things besides the above that will make students better "buy into" the TBL process.
