MAILING LISTS

(Fred Sorry, I forgot to reply to all)

I give no points for the RATS if the students leave.  About 10 min before class is over, I go to each team with a piece of paper with all team member names on it.  I write the number of members present and hand it to them.  They must then sign next to their name and hand the sheet in before leaving class.

Don’t give them credit for the RAT if they leave early.

Hi all,

You've probably seen an e-mail or two from me about my Friday afternoon (1-3:40pm) class.  I'd had trouble with them leaving after the RATs.  Anyway, I'd like to ask for some advice.  I'm considering two options related to that class.  The first would be to continue as it's presently set up... RATs, followed by minilecture, followed by application exercises all in one afternoon.  I have 9 RATs.  I also have 3 classes w/o RATs that are for integrative application exercises.  It takes the whole class period for those.  The change would be that I'd put some points on the application exercises (where I didn't before).  The other option is to restructure... fewer RATs (maybe 6), bit longer reading assignments, bit longer RATs (they were 12 questions) and then give more integrative assignments on the other days and give points for those.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Karla
