Hi Tony,
I have had this happen with International students or students where
English is a second language. Some of them truly wish to understand the
material better, and did not understand how the team and class reached a
decision, because the discussion went too quickly for them to capture the
information. For these students, a one-on-one meeting can be a rich and
in-depth discussion of the material. For others, I've discovered during
our one-on-one session that the student has a closed mind to learning and
is nagging for more points. After giving some basic tips about how to
study and take my RATs, I end those sessions. I reiterate to both types of
students that the purpose of the IRAT is to prepare for hands-on material
done later in class, and my RATs are a low percentage of the overall class
grade.
