Hi Don Info on IFAT http://www.epsteineducation.com/ifat.php They are answer sheets that are somewhat like scratch and win tickets.....student scratch off to check for correct answers and keep scratching till they find it. When used for the team tests......they reportedly have lots of advantages........the group gets immediate feedback...right after their discussion and decision......while the question is still fresh in their minds and......as Larry Michaelsen mentioned in one of his previous posts.......the group dominator is one scratch away from being wrong......and the quiet group member is one scratch away from being validated I am set to use them for the first time next week.......

Examples of RATS I don't know about RATS but I do know that the most phenomenal multiple choice questions I've ever seen are in the higher order sections of Bloom's book A Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. They come from all fields. 3. I'm new to the details of TBL. What re IF-AT answer sheets? - Don ------- Don McCormick, Ph.D, Associate Professor University of Redlands School of Business 1200 E.
