Just to be up front, this is me procrastinating. I have a test tomorrow morning, and I really should be studying. I will, I'm just taking a break.
As it turns out, I don't know what I need to for the test. We had a "TBL" today, which means a Team Based Learning session, over some of the stuff that we're gonna be tested over. Wow. That was hard. I guess I didn't realize just how much I hadn't learned yet. A TBL basically goes like this: we take a quiz by ourselves. Then we take the same quiz in our "TBL Group". After that, we do "Application" questions. We have questions that we have to answer, and then we have to tell the whole class what our group got for an answer.
It probably sounds like a great idea. Its not. Basically, we get asked questions that are pretty open ended, and have to pick a multiple choice answer. Then, we have to hold up a little card saying what answer we chose, and then (like pretty much always happens) when my group picks the answer that no one else chose, the rest of the class (who at this point is convinced they're better than us) laughs at us, and we have to explain why we chose the answer we did. Well, we aren't always wrong. But we are usually the team with the "different" answer. Well, today, we had a different answer from all the other groups, and my group was all like "aw, we got it wrong" before we knew what the real answer was. So I said, "hey, that doesn't mean we necessarily got the wrong answer." Which is true. Regardless somebody from the other group was like, "yes it does". That really got me.
Good times.
