MAILING LISTS

I've always allowed the appeal to resore full credit on the
question--irrespective of the number of scratches (on both the team and
individual tests).  Thus, an appeal of a four-scratch answer would add
more points to the team score than a two-scratch answer and, because I
always give students the option of "splitting" their individual answers
(TBL book, p224), the appeal may end up adding different amounts of
additional credit on the individual test.

Hey Everyone,

I am wondering what strategies folks use to award points for appeals if
teams use the IF-AT scratch off forms.

If a group successfully appeals a question, but it took them two, three
or even four scratches to find the right answer, what kind of credit do
you award the appeal?

I know some instructors use the honor system:  Students have to state
"We scratched off 'A' first."

And some instructors might not care:  "as long as they are driven to
engage the material in support of *any* of the options, they are
learning."

Are there other opinions or systems in use out there?
