I'd like to thank Richard Hake for pointing out the archives search. By reading some past posts, I had many questions answered--even questions I didn't know I had yet ;) I'd like to ask two more questions: 1. In high school, I have students dropping/moving away/moving in all year long (and far more leaving than coming in). What do you do if a group gets too small? I can anticipate the complaints from both students and parents about a group with only 3 or 4 members while all of the other groups have 6. 2. About weighting the different components of the class (individual RAT, team RAT, etc.): I KNOW I will have parents complaining if team RATs are 10% in one class and 15% in another, especially if they are just different sections of the same class. Do you think I should just set something that is reasonable? Or should I have the process of choosing the weights take place over several days, until I can get agreement between all sections of the same class? Karen Hoff
