As module leader of the General and Organic Chemistry Foundation Year module I was keen to introduce TBL to help with the poor attendance and lack of student engagement in problem classes. The year we introduced TBL also saw the additional challenge of student numbers almost doubling. From the first TBL session I ran I could see that TBL was a great way of addressing these problems and that students were enjoying the experience and becoming active learners. I can’t ever imagine running these problem sessions in another format, and I intend to embed TBL in all my teaching going forward.
