Hi, Michael. Just wondering....are you using Blackboard, Web CT or something similar? I was wondering if you could record your clarification (mini lecture) and place it in the shell? I do have longer class sessions than you, but I find making brief audio recordings (voice presentation) or you tube presentations (in Blackboard, referred to as "video" everywhere) really helps with clarification and saves time. I also place topic written clarification/articles, etc, in an open FAQ discussion board in the shell. Good luck!

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.
