I think all of this would make for a very nice manuscript. I teach
incorporate a small bit of TBL in my biostatistics course and I have not had
my special needs students ask for extra time either.

Hi Michael, Dean and all,
Since I typically administer the iRATs at or near the beginning of class,
like Dean, I allow them to start early- during the break between classes.
However, TBL iRATs have caused an interesting phenomenon. Students with
disabilities very rarely take me up on this opportunity. The 5 minute rule
has almost eliminated the need for even special needs students to start
early.
Best,
Holly

we've administered the IRATs ahead of the designated time giving
them the additional time. but, no extra time for the gRAT. D
