William - For what it is worth, I don't grade application exercises. I find that students are fully engaged with out doing this. In fact, there is some evidence that people do less creative work when there is extrinsic motivation (I don't have references handy, but this is a key point of Dan Pink's book "Drive" and it is covered in his TED talk as well). Also, if you grade it, they're likely to share application exercises with students who take the course later, so you'll have to write new ones each semester. As most find it hard to to write AEs, you're adding significantly to your workload. You can certainly still standard midterms and finals in TBL. - Bill > Hello TBL Community, > > I am a bit of a novice TBLer so looking for some advice if you would be so kind. I am working on a way to grade the in-class applications, as it is a substantial part of the course expectations and student work. I was thinking of doing this in a two-fold manner - 1.) having a "right" answer to the applications that the groups could scratch off on the IFAT form after they have discussed and debated across groups (I would likely make this open to appeals as well); and 2.) developing some type of process feedback form in which each group would get a score at the end of a session (assessing things such as team interactions/dynamics, engagement, sound rationale behind answers during simultaneous reporting, others?!?). > > I would love any feedback or resources if there are any out there. > > Many thanks! > > > William Massey, PhD > Assistant Professor of Occupational Therapy > School of Health Professions > Concordia University Wisconsin > Office: HS 143 > 262-243-2073 > [log in to unmask] > > > ######################################################################## > > To unsubscribe from the TEAMLEARNING-L list, please click the following link: > https://lists.ubc.ca/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=TEAMLEARNING-L&A=1 > > Further information about the UBC Mailing Lists service can be found on the UBC IT website. -- Bill Goffe Senior Lecturer Department of Economics Penn State University 304 Kern Building University Park, PA 16802 814-867-3299 [log in to unmask] http://cook.rfe.org/ ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the TEAMLEARNING-L list, please click the following link: https://lists.ubc.ca/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=TEAMLEARNING-L&A=1 Further information about the UBC Mailing Lists service can be found on the UBC IT website.
