I address this the 1st class period and it is in my syllabus that gives
ever student an "opt out" opportunity for their individual grades to be
kept private. If they opt out, I would grade their RAT myself as well
as all other papers that might be on the score sheet. The scores would
be recorded by me on a separate sheet.
I have NEVER had anyone opt out. My rationale is similar to "informed
consent" in research where you read the directions to everyone before
taking a survey or something that gives them the option to decline...if
they don't definitely say NO, then they are implying yes.
But again, with the review no one has opted out of group knowledge.

Hey Michael --
I've wondered about this as well. My understanding--admittedly
limited-- is that this sort of information is pretty tightly restricted
by FERPA regulations, or at least it's supposed to be.

Subject: [TEAMLEARNING-L] Should teams know each members individual
scores?
Hi Everyone,
The Michaelsen, Knight & Fink book recommends that individual RAT scores
be included in the team folder, so that team members know how their
fellow members are doing in the course.
Does this mean that the identities of the members are known, or are the
individual scores only shown by ID, so the identity of members actually
remains anonymous within the group?
Are there sufficient advantages to not keeping individual scores private
(among the team) to warrant this partial lack of privacy?
Should one give class members the option of remaining anonymous, even
within their teams?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Michael
