Usually, I can tell when students are not going to make it because they 
stop coming to class. I have a couple of students in an Intro to Psych 
class taught on a Sunday afternoon, that seem totally disinterested. 
They don't seem to give much in the way of discussion to the group and 
only help with the mechanics, (writing up or entering the teams 
answers). Their iRATs are abysmal. We are ending our first unit so this 
will also be our first peer reviews so I hope these things will take 
care of themselves. I also plan to directly address the offenders. I was 
just wondering if anyone has dealt with this before?
