Duane,
Let me ask for some additional information:
Dee
- How many people were in the class last fall?
- Of these, how many clearly did not buy into using TBL?

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) .
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.
Thanks in advance.
