Go for it! My classes typically have about 17 graduate students but in the summer I have had as low as 10 or 11. My preferred team size is 5 with 4 being the smallest size. So two teams of 5 is perfect in my world. You do the same that you typically do with the larger classes. You just have two teams and you should note that it will take less time than you are used to. But it works beautifully In my classes. I find that with more than 5 it is easier for students to participate less.
Best,

Hi everyone,

I just found out that my fall term course that usually has ~25 students, may only have ~10. Does anyone know of a resource that presents best practices for using TBL in really small courses? Or has anyone used TBL in really small courses? If so, I'd love to pick your brain for tips...

Cheers,
John
