During my reading assessments with 50min. classes, frequently I do not have sufficient time to lecture/discuss problem areas. On these days I lecture the next class, but obviously its no longer fresh in their minds -- which is a big loss to the TBL method.
I would like any feedback on the option of letting those teams that finish early leave upon completion if I am not going to have sufficient time to discuss. On the one hand, I hate to keep them for no reason, but I am concerned that this will create an environment in which other groups rush and don't full discuss each question.
Any thoughts on this specific question or tips and tricks for TBL in a 50 min. class would be greatly appreciated. FYI - this is my first semester using TBL & I am using in an introductory Econ course. Thanks,
