Hi In the 13 years we done TBL we have never graded application activities We typically do have a team worksheet that is completed at end of activity…and have each member signs the worksheet….we collect but do NOT grade these worksheet… We tell students if you come to us with 79…really wanting the 80…it is these we will look at the team worksheets. We never had any issues with engagement…and never had got the sense that students aren’t engaging because a grade isn’t involved…I believe the quality of question you ask better predicts engagement than if there are marks involved Many people do grade applications, but the discomfort you can create when the answer isn’t black and white and you declare one answer as correct really gets up the students noses sometimes. With ungraded applications we can ask harder messy questions that don’t completely resolve but lead to important conversations….without incurring the wrath of students I know Regis Pharmacy…grades their applications….maybe they can provide some guidance for you Take care [cid:5C8A7A06-93B4-4244-90F2-694EB1C79F08] Jim Sibley Director [cid:3A8BE872-DDFA-4782-9E66-63E205332342] http://cis.apsc.ubc.ca/ Faculty of Applied Science University of British Columbia CEME 1214-6250 Applied Science Lane Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Phone 604.822.9241 Email: [log in to unmask]<applewebdata:[log in to unmask]> Check out my book Getting Started with Team–Based Learning<http://www.learntbl.ca> Check out my TBL website at www.learntbl.ca<http://www.learntbl.ca> © Copyright 2015, Jim Sibley, All rights reserved The information contained in this e-mail message and any attachments (collectively "message") is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient (or recipients) named above.

We are going to use TBL as one of the teaching/learning methods. The grading system of a TBL module will consist of: - iRAT score - tRAT score - score of an application - score of peerevaluation Now I’m coming to my question: How do you assess the application exercises? Can you please help us to figure out the best way to do that?
