At UIC, we have an attendance policy for TBL: http://chicago.medicine.uic.edu/departments___programs/program_offices/undergraduate_medical_education/curriculum/md_program__year_1_/team-_based_learning/team-_based_learning_attendance_policy
We do not grade the Application portion and attendance is optional. I would say that 99% of students stay with the TBL even though they know that once we get to the Application portion, they are technically allowed to leave.

Hi Alison,
I agree with Kare. Because you haven't built a policy into your syllabus, it's best to rely on the peer evaluations. Granted, if you have a general attendance policy in your syllabus you could lean on that; for example, if they need to provide documentation of illness, etc.
My syllabus details that they cannot make up team in-class applications because they have to be there to participate. Keeping in mind that life happens, I do drop two scores at the end of the semester. (To clarify, I don't grade in class applications. They count for 20 participation points per activity).
I hope this helps.
Best,
Kristen

Hello,
I am teaching my first TBL course and decided to grade the in-class application exercises (upon several threads here since the semester started, I probably wouldn’t do this again). Regardless, I am having a problem: absent students during graded in-class work. It’s not widespread but nonetheless each class maybe 1-2 absent students. I did not specify in my syllabus how this would be handled. My first reaction was to give the missing students a 0 for that exercise, but I do have the peer multiplier built into group grades. How have others dealt with this issue?
Thanks for any advice,
Alison
