We do something like that. After the GRAT – the teams are to write up on the board any remaining questions they may have about any of the questions. This usually results in really just a few common questions. Then we assign another team to answer it (before the faculty provide any further) – one who didn’t raise that as a question (because, presumably they knew the answer). We give the teams about 10 min to look up anything they many need before they have to answer. Anyone in the team can be called upon to explain the ‘team” response.

Has anyone used this in a manner where teams are asked to nominate a limited number of questions each (eg a maximum of two questions)? I think that this would be an additional way to get team interaction and require team negotiation.
