I also do as you do, David, in terms of team grades. Team scores are team scores and I use the peer evaluation to weight the contribution of the team work for individuals’ final grades. This is so important in making the students accountable to the team. If we adjust team grades for individuals, it takes away from the team’s influence over themselves and reduces individual accountability to the team.

Jim,
I also drop the lowest iRAT score; that takes care of about 90% of the iRAT absences. If the student has a good excuse for any additional iRAT absences, I will drop the excused iRAT absence from the calculation and they get the score on the iRATs that they actually completed (minus the low score.) Students always get the tRAT score. If the team feels that the person did not pull his or her weight because the student missed one or more tRATs, the team can take that into consideration in the peer review. This makes the students more accountable to the team -- which is what we generally want.

Subject: Re: Student missed a tRAT
Dear Jim
In my introductory classes I have some extra credit options that can augment I-RAT loss. For t-RATs I typically drop the lowest score and that covers most issues. In the syllabus, it states that if folks don't sign the t-rat and application sheets they do not receive a grade. If folks are only in attendance for 50% of the application they can only get up to 50% of the grade for that application.

Hello all,
I need some advice on how to handle grading when a student misses a tRAT. In my TBL class, grades are given for the iRAT, and each student is given the tRAT score. I had two students miss tRATs. One student missed the tRAT because she thought the class was an hour later. The other student missed the tRAT due to illness (verified).
My initial decision was to give the tRAT score to the ill student and a 0 to the late student. We, the faculty, are discussing how to make a clear, fair policy for when a student misses the tRAT. There are several permutations of this scenario that could make it grayer than we would like. What is your opinion?
Thank you,
Jim
