I’ll just second Neil’s comments.  Two teams of 5 or 6 works fine.  I’ve done this several times during summer sessions in intermediate microeconomic theory.

Subject: Re: TBL in really small classes

 

Hi John,

 

I did this with my 3rd year biochemistry class a few years ago with an enrollment of 12. I split the class into two teams and proceeded as usual. It worked very well. There was a friendly and productive rivalry that developed between the two teams. 

 

It may have been one of my best class experiences. 

 

Best of luck!

 

Neil

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
