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

Dear colleagues,
In Amsterdam (the Netherlands) we are developing a whole new bachelor curriculum in Medicine, which will start at September 2016. 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?
Kind regards,
Jacqueline Vos
