1 – evaluate the quality of the materials: objectives, readiness assurance questions and their relationship to the objectives/preparatory reading and whether or not they are foundational to the Application exercise, Application exercise (4S’s) and whether
or not students have to truly evaluate, synthesize, use the content to solve a complex problem.
2 – select a team at random with whom to sit for the session. Evaluate how the students are tackling the questions and thinking and dialoguing about the course concepts. Evaluate how the instructor engages teams, manages the process, manages time, poses
thought-producing questions and doesn’t end up ‘lecturing,’ but guiding, probing, and clarifying.
3 – formal student feedback on the session as part of course evaluation; any academic peformance data available.

I was asked to sit-in on a colleague’s TBL class and provide an evaluation that he can include in his P&T document. Anyone recommend an evaluation form that adequately assesses someone conducting a TBL class?
