Hi Amy, Not only do I allow note-taking (only during post-rat learning activities), I post both the questions and the question answers for students in our LMS after class so they have them for the exam. I have been using TBL for the past 3 years for my pediatric nursing class and surprisingly, students don't share this information (or if they do, it does not impede learning/discussion during our activities). I always tell them that learning activities are "low stakes" - not worth any points, so sharing them with their peers only affects their peers learning. They deeply appreciate having both the questions and the key and they tell me they use that to prepare prior to an exam. Just my experience! *Christine Sloan, PhD, RN, CNS, CPN* *Associate Professor* *Point Loma Nazarene University* *Cell Phone: (619)518-2255* *[log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>* *Achiever ~ Strategic ~ Input ~ Learner ~ Ideation* On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 12:50 PM, Emke, Amanda R <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I’m very interested in the response because we, too, do not allow any note > taking (for the same reasons).
