Hello all, I am one class into my first TBL experience and I have hit my first roadblock. I am very excited about using the grade weights as our first group discussion, but I am getting some pushback from other folks in my department that, I believe, might hinder the group discussion. I am teaching a Financial Accounting course that is taught in 30-35 other sections on campus. In ALL of those other sections, the individual exams are 70% of the student's grade. While I am OK with ending up at that percentage, I doubt that, left to their own devices, the groups will end up at the same %. So, I am stuck either letting the groups decide how to "spend" the other 30% or, ending up with a lower (or potentially much lower) % of the student's grade being a reflection of their individual exam work. Any advice on how to deal with the potentially lower stakes group discussion or the faculty ire that I will get if I end up with a lower % would be MUCH appreciated. Martin
