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.

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? -Michael
