Dear Marina,
I, like Jim, give students a practice RAT over the syllabus. The flow of
the "unit" is as follows:
> I present a brief TBL intro including the fact that I use backward design.
> I demonstrate how I use backwards design by:
    1) Explaining that the he first application will be students
determining a grading system for the class and that they will be given a
demonstration RAT over the syllabus and the answers can be found in the
course syllabus.
    2) Giving them 10 minutes to study the syllabus (which contains
information on the components that must be included in the grading
system--including ranges within which they have the opportunity to decide--
and a description of the process that they will need to follow to set the
grade weights).
    3) Giving the RAT and answering questions.
    4) Having them actually set the grade weights for the class.
By the time they are done:
1) The teams are well on their way to becoming cohesive,
2) Students understand how TBL works.
3) Students understand and have generally bought into the grading process.
