Hi all,

You've probably seen an e-mail or two from me about my Friday afternoon (1-3:40pm) class.  I'd had trouble with them leaving after the RATs.  Anyway, I'd like to ask for some advice.  I'm considering two options related to that class.  The first would be to continue as it's presently set up... RATs, followed by minilecture, followed by application exercises all in one afternoon.  I have 9 RATs.  I also have 3 classes w/o RATs that are for integrative application exercises.  It takes the whole class period for those.  The change would be that I'd put some points on the application exercises (where I didn't before).  The other option is to restructure... fewer RATs (maybe 6), bit longer reading assignments, bit longer RATs (they were 12 questions) and then give more integrative assignments on the other days and give points for those.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Karla
