Section 8 Team-Based Inquiry Learning

This course is taught by a method called team-based learning. You will be assigned a team that you will work with on various activities in class each day.
  • Before each module begins, you will be responsible for ensuring your own readiness for the module. Material for the readiness assurance process will be available on Blackboard. Make sure you prepare for the beginning of the module before class.
  • The first day of each module will be dedicated to the Readiness Assurance Process. The dates for these are located in the Daily Schedule (listed as RAT). On these days, you will first take an Individual Readiness Assurance Check (iRAT). After submitting this, working with your teammates you will retake the same problems as the Team Readiness Assurance Check (tRAT). These are designed to measure if you are prepared for the team activities on subsequent days. See Readiness Assurance Checks for grading information.
  • On the other class days, you will work with your teammates on a series of activities designed to guide you through discovering and understanding the course material.
