TBL Sucks

Many of you have probably heard me talk about how the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has changed the curriculum for the PharmD class behind me. The administration and various committees have also decided that the old school, over-crowded lecture hall style of learning is not conducive to retaining the information. Therefore they are switching it to "team-based learning" where there is no lecture and you discuss different case scenarios with your groups during class. Keep in mind we get no background information and all cases cover "gray areas" which we can't be tested on. Multiple choice tests have to be black and white. My classmates and I were used as guinea pigs for the new format during three lectures (which is this class constitutes three topics or disease states and their treatment). Each lecture was two hours long, but half of it was making suggestions about everything that was wrong with the class... apparently no one had thought this through AT ALL before the first day. Well I got my test back no Monday which included these sections. The only questions I missed were from those three days in lecture. So riddle me this... how and I going to "retain this information for life" (as they put it), if I was never taught it in the first place?

ANYWAY, I digress (yah, we all know that'll never be true). For one of my classes next semester, which combines the P3 and P2 classes due to above mentioned curriculum change, the professor emailed us to tell us we will be partaking, at times, in TBL. We have to take this "test" to see what our learning style is so we can be matched with students of other learning styles. So finally to the point of this post one of the questions with provided answer I found stupid is below:

Other than price, what would most influence your decision to buy a new non-fiction book?
It has real-life stories, experiences and examples.

No no no, I want the one with all the fake crap.
