Rick Goedde is Associate Professor of Economic Studies and Director of Management Studies in the Department of Economics at St Olaf College, Northfield, MN. He has 7 years of TBL teaching experience, and is a TBLC Trainer/Consultant. He teaches classes of about 30 students in two separate classes in finance and management. These students are drawn from across his college from more than 20 majors including dance, philosophy, art history, business, etc.

Rick’s particular interest is in developing student accountability for team application activities. To this end, he has devised a “just in time” teaching approach that incorporates the TBL application exercise principles, but requires students to submit individual answers to instructor- posed questions just a couple of hours before class time using a quiz facility. This work prepares each student for productive work on classroom activities.
