I give them the team RAT score but a zero for the iRAT. Then I recommend that they talk to their team about how to make it up to them. If it's a team, in my opinion, then the team score is for everyone, just as graded team projects are teams scores regardless of absences. So far no complaints. -Melissa On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 4:19 AM, Sandy Cook <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > If a person is out with a legitimate excuse (ill, mostly), and > communicate with their team and administration that they are out, we will > give them up to 2 days to take the IRAT for their individual score and in > all cases they will get their GRAT score even if not present.
