 and team performance.
In Phase 3, which may last several class periods, groups complete in-class assignments that promote collaboration, use of Phase 1 and 2 knowledge, and identification of learning deficiencies. At designated times, all groups simultaneously share their groups' answers with the entire class for easy comparison and immediate feedback. This stimulates an energetic total-class discussion with groups defending their answers and the teacher helping to consolidate learning.
TBL stresses the importance of a priori, out-of-class learning based on clear learning objectives. It emphasizes the importance of holding learners accountable for attending class prepared to participate, and provides guidelines for designing group learning tasks to maximize participation.
* Motivation to engage in give-and-take discussion.
In medical education, team learning has been successfully used in preclinical, clinical, residency, fellowship, and CME venues and in interdisciplinary settings.
Have any in theological education directly applied TBL practice or anything like this? Any comments on its value and drawbacks as applied to theological education.
Thanks Alex for asking the question and raising the matter.
I'm not advocating or supporting it but I think there are two VASTLY different types of offenses to take into consideration there. I have no personal objection to people using fictional works for their personal tastes(and there are MUCH more messed up fictional works than this) if no real harm or crimes are being committed in the process.

you are free to disagree with me or downvote me I am no stranger to sensitive or controversial topics but probably for the best that it not become a topic of discussion here of all places.Another question, why doesn't the Brotherhood of Steel use plasma weapons? They must have acquired a large amount in their war with the Enclave, and some Brotherhood of Steel knights and paladins were shown using them in Broken Steel. They're superior to laser weaponry, so what gives? The only guess I can hazard is with this new plasma cartridge system introduced in Fallout 4, perhaps the Brotherhood of Steel ran out of plasma in the Capital Wasteland? Perhaps they stick to laser weaponry because fusion cells are apparently more bountiful?STEVE BRUCE needed a major fillip this summer in the wake of Hull City’s relegation and it came in the form of son Alex’s wedding.
The Tigers’ 30-year-old defender married partner Lucy at a ceremony in Portugal that was attended by a host of Premier League stars.
Wayne Rooney and wife Coleen were among those present and dad Steve admits such a happy occasion provided a timely lift.
“Being relegated on the final day ranks up there with my most disappointing seasons,” said the one-time Premier League title winner with Manchester United.
“After an experience like that, the one thing that you have to do is try and recover but it took me a long time.
“I had my son’s wedding in the summer and that was a positive. It is not often your son gets married, so that helped me ease through it.
“But, for the first week or two weeks [of the summer], I wasn’t very good company. It is like a grieving process but I also know the turmoil it can cause a club.
“No matter how you try and be strong with it, you know you are probably going to have to start all over again.
“That is the sad part. Just when you feel as though you are building something, you get the rug pulled from under your feet.
Last season had all started so differently to how it ended, with the first Thursday of August, 2014, bringing progress to the final qualifying round of the Europa League.
Defeat to Lokeren followed but, even so, there was a definite feel-good factor at the KC in those early weeks following what looked like having been a positive summer of recruitment.
“I will never want to make excuses because, at the end of the day, we all weren’t good enough,” says Bruce.
“But when you look back, from day one we were dealt a raw deal. I know injuries happen but not usually to all your big marquee players. For them all to miss over half a season, that was our problem.
What do Burr Tillstrom and I have in common?
Partial credit if you said “an inordinate interest in puppets.” Tillstrom created “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” a Chicago kiddie TV show in the late 1940s that broke into national popularity.
And I’ve written about more puppetry than I have about football, certainly more than is wise for a man supposedly trying to align his work with the interests of his readers. Though in my defense, I missed the International Puppetry Festival this year because, frankly, I forgot. So safe to say that my passion for puppetry is far below Tillstrom’s.
But puppetry is not the answer I’m looking for. No, Tillstrom and I are both members of Chicago’s Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame — inducted in the same class in 2013, in fact.
I’ve never put that in the paper before. Not that I’m ashamed of it — I’m proud. I’ve got the three-inch tall chunk of crystal they give members right here, with the Seal of the City and my name and “Friend of the Community” lest anybody suspect that being inducted means I’m gay — Seinfeld fans, all together now: Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
No, I haven’t mentioned this before because I’m modest, or pretend to be, and don’t like to tout what scant honors I receive. Plus it wasn’t germane to whatever I was talking about. Now it is, I think, because I want to put into context my reaction to a certain aspect of our historic mayoral election.
Wednesday morning. WBBM radio was reporting the scene from the Lightfoot campaign headquarters the night before, and noted that Lightfoot’s wife and 10-year-old daughter joined her at the celebration.
At “wife” I sorta … the word I first thought was “flinched,” but the truth is something far milder, not at all physical. Ten times milder. A shift, like hearing the single peal of bell, far away.
I wonder if "started" might be a better word than "flinched." Demonstrates the momentary surprise without the negative connotation.
It was the North Side lakefront wards that put Lightfoot over the top. I was going to vote for Vallas, but when I heard the results of the last poll & it showed a three way tie among Taxwinkle, Lightfoot & that corrupt as hell pile of shit Daley, I then voted for Lightfoot on Tuesday & will again vote for her in April.

Another reason why early voting is stupid, if your candidate is losing badly & there's a close race among the top few, you can at least help the least bad choice.
The labels describe gender and duties, that is a fact. Hearing a man mention his husband seems unnatural to a man my age, perhaps younger generations will be more comfortable with it. Maybe new terms will arise to indicate a same sex spouse, I suspect using'spouse' alone doesn't satisfy those who take their marital situations seriously. Assigning a sexual preference, like lesbian, seems uncivil in a way, but maybe just to me. However one wants to describe oneself is fine with me. While I am uncomfortable watching two men kiss on screen, it occurred to me that seeing a man and woman in such intimacy is equally icky. It is more important for us to be free tote ourselves than for everyone else to be comfortable it. Congratulations on your award.
Well, I'm glad I don't have to explain the nuances of naming same-sex spouses. At this time, it seems to me whatever you call them is going to sound a bit awkward. We'll get used to, I think.
I too am getting used to reading and hearing "my husband" and "my wife" from non-heterosexual couples.
Slow but steady steps of understanding and acceptance leading us onward.
Lightfoot's or anyone else's sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with whether they could function effectively as mayor (or in any other job). Hopefully enough people will realize that.Health Services (constituency)

The Health Services, formerly called Health, are a functional constituency in the elections for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong first created in 1998. The constituency is composed of health services related professionals.Gathering - Isle of Arran?
I'm planning a trip up to the Isle of Arran this Easter and wondered if I could generate enough interest to turn this into an informal gathering/workshop?
I'm thinking of starting my visit to the island on Monday 29th March and leaving on Tuesday 6th April - but these dates are flexible ( I am available between Sunday 28th March and Saturday 10th April.
I've looked at accommodation but if there is a group of us then I can look at finding somewhere that will accommodate all of us.
Re: Gathering - Isle of Arran?
If anyone does have a change of mind then I will be on Arran between the following dates - Monday 29th March to Saturday 3rd April.
I love Arran but I have not been for about five years. I suggest the Youth Hostel at Lochranza. It's cheap and you don't have to be a youth!

Hi Steve - Thanks for the tip!
