Erica, <br><br><br>I've created my own form, which requires teams to write their answer (see attached).  A team member is required to bring the sheet to me for grading after each decision making round. I mark it with a felt tip pen, which makes it very easy for me and the team to identify when they've made the wrong choice. They then go back to the group and we repeat the process until they've correctly answered each question. The process helps to add a little drama, as the rest of the group watches to see if I mark their paper. <br><br><br>Cheers, Tom<br><br>Tom DeWitt Ph.D.<br>Assistant Professor of Marketing<br>College of Business and Economics<br>University of Hawaii - Hilo<br>200 W.

I would appreciate any <br>> insight more<br>> seasoned users have on handling this situation. I use the A-E IF-<br>> AT cards,<br>> but sometimes I only have A-C or A-D answers for questions on <br>> the gRAT. What<br>> happens is that students will want to scratch D but they do E by <br>> mistakesince they just "go to the end" of the row since they <br>> want to scratch "the<br>> last one." Other times they are not careful with their <br>> scratching (i.e.<br>> scratch the row below instead). They then tell me about it in <br>> hopes that<br>> they won't be penalized for the scratch. <br>> <br>> How do others handle this? In the past I would allow appeals for <br>> these if<br>> they could explain their case. This worked but I think some <br>> teams took<br>> advantage of this system AND it adds a good amount of grading <br>> time (esp. if<br>> it isn't easy to know it was a mistake). This term, I put in <br>> place a "no<br>> mercy for accidents" and they are unhappy. I've given tips (i.e. <br>> look before<br>> you scratch, use a paper to line up the row you are working on) <br>> but I've had<br>> 2 RATS and several teams complain.<br>> <br>> I use a 1 -.5 -.25-0-0 point system on the gRAT. Any suggestions <br>> or words of<br>> wisdom would be awesome.<br>> <br>> Erica <br>> Sociology<br>> UAlbany
