I have a similar question about forming teams in the second and third year of law school. I have used TBL in first-year law classes, but this will be my first TBL class in an upper-level class. There are certain skills that I want to distribute among the teams, but some of those skills are evidenced by a grade in a first-year class. I don't want to ask who got an A in a certain class. ----------------- David Raeker-Jordan Legal Methods Professor Widener University School of Law Harrisburg, PA On Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 12:18 PM, Geiss, Roger <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > We are embarking on using TBL in a number of our second-year preclinical > courses, and I am interested in knowing the criteria used by others to form > teams in such classes.
