The document discusses the key aspects of team-based learning (TBL), including that groups consist of 5-7 diverse students who work together over a semester or block. Faculty organize the teams. The Readiness Assurance Process (RAP) is used and involves individual and group tests over assigned readings with appeals and clarification. Teams then work through application exercises together by addressing a significant problem, same problem, specific choice, and simultaneous reporting. Peer evaluations are used as a grade modifier. TBL requires power sharing between faculty and students and additional pre-class reading.
