I don't understand what is being meant by TBLs. How can TBLs be saved for the end of a course? I always understood TBL to be a complete course design strategy. An entire course is taught by TBL or not at all.

Can someone clarify for me?

Thanks

Neil

Bill,

 

We initially did all of our TBLs at the end of the course. The 2 problems with this were – decreased utility as a formative assessment because they were so close to the end of the course and a significant time burden because they were trying to prepare for TBLs and exams (you can guess which they devoted more time too!).

Greetings,

 

We recently started our organ system modules. Each module is 4-5 weeks in length. Some of the students suggested the TBLs might be more useful to them if all the TBLs were at the end of the course rather than interspersed in the curriculum.

 

Is anyone doing this? What are the positives/negatives? What are your lessons learned?

 

Thanks,

Bill----
