So I started my first year of DPT this fall.
I am in a new curriculum, which is mostly based on Team Based Learning (TBL).
So far, it seems as though no one really knows how to really administer TBL in an efficient way. We were promised less class time, however, that didn't happen, and instead, we are in class from 8-5 every day, most of which are not lectures. Therefore we need to study a few chapters every night, because we have Readiness Assessments the next day on material that has not been covered in class at all.
We then waste a lot of time in class with logistics and assessments, so it seams as though the professors aren't really teaching anymore, but have become mediators in class discussions.
I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing TBL, and what your thoughts on it were?
