Thanks Amanda for the shout out…We agree that having a summary of key points as hand out might re-assure students about having to take notes.

 

We struggled a lot with that issue in Singapore when we first began because of the culture of sharing questions.  Faculty wanted no note taking.  Students wanted to write the questions as that is how they were used to studying. 

 

I thought you all might enjoy the attached commentary we wrote addressing how we handled the situation.  It has become an important part of our professionalism and discussion about the purpose and value of the learning experience as well as the need for reporting misconduct. 

 

I realize it might not work for learners who might not be as mature…but it was the solution agreed to by both students and faculty.

Subject: Student note taking during TBL

 

Hi all,

 

Does anyone allow students to take notes during TBL - specifically during the post-RAT discussion or application exercises? 

 

We have not been allowing note taking at any time during the TBL because we are concerned about students copying down questions (that took us forever and a day to write) and sharing them with subsequent classes. But, taking notes is one way for students to solidify their knowledge, so in some ways we may be inhibiting student learning.

 

How do others handle this situation? Do you have guidelines for the students about “acceptable” (e.g., key concepts, pearls of wisdom) vs. “unacceptable” (e.g. copying down questions) notes?

 

Thanks!

 

Amy
