I have 27 graduate occupational therapy students.  I’m finding that the application exercises are only taking about 15 minutes for the group work and then maybe 15 minutes in discussion.  Surely, I must be doing something wrong.  I have a 2 hour class tomorrow morning with the same students and all I have scheduled are 2 application exercises.

I feel like the exercises are vague and difficult enough and students must pick only one of 4 possible answers. Yet, they arrive at the answer very quickly and there’s not a lot of  group debate about why one team choice this or one team chose that.

What do I need to do different?

Thanks
