Dear Zachary,

For several years I taught in a program in which students were in the same team in three very different courses (two of which were taught with TBL) for a single semester (the three courses were Management, Marketing and Information Systems. The instructor in each of the three courses used his or her own peer evaluation process and made an independent decision on how much the peer evaluation "counted" in determining students' grades in his or her own. One aspect of that experience that is probably relevant to your question is that individual students often received quite different peer evaluation scores in different courses. Although I don't have enough information to know specifically why the difference occurred, given this experience, I would recommend having a peer evaluation in each course rather than an overall evaluation across several courses.

I hope this helps.

Larry

Hi TBL'ers,

Our institution is using TBL across several courses in the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum, including courses that occur simultaneously within a given semester. Our approach has been to use the same teams for all courses using TBL in a given semester, rather than having different teams for different courses within the same semester. I'm curious how other institutions are operationalizing peer evaluations in this circumstance? Do you have peer evaluations for each course? Or do you have a central process so that the peer evaluations span all the TBL courses in a given semester? How does this influence grading in your courses? Thanks in advance for ideas & experiences you can share!
