I am the Human Genetics course Director for the University of  
Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Genetics is a 4 week course and we  
have 6 TBLS. TBLs account for 40% of their final grade and here is  
how we break up their TBL grade. We give 10% for IRAT, 10% for GRAT,  
5% for Peer evaluation and 15% for the application. The application  
grade is automatic and students get it for just taking part and  
completing the application. There is no formal grade and the only way  
their 15% application grade can decrease is if they miss an  
application exercise. We felt that the students would appreciate the  
application exercise and learn more,  if the stress of getting graded  
was removed. The GRAT and IRAT are MCQs graded with bubble sheets and  
IFAT sheets respectively.

Best wishes
