We’ve also compiled all submissions in our 2026 Student Voices in TBL - Essay Compilation. Students largely think that TBL allows them to:

  1. Identify blind spots and strengthen reasoning through peer discussion
  2. Build accountability by combining individual preparation with collaborative decision-making
  3. Develop distinctly human skills AI cannot replace, including empathy, communication, judgment, and trust
