In my experience, most students who are allowed more time want to try the iRAT with the class and it usually works fine. For those who do need more time and aren't comfortable doing with the class, I have small enough classes and few enough of those types of students to just make arrangements to take the iRAT early, sometimes just during the time period right before class, then they just read or relax while others take it in class, then join in for the tRAT. I could make similar arrangements through our testing center if they need it read to them or something like that, letting it take it there, then joining the team for the tRAT. In 8 years or so of using TBL, I think I've only had a couple of students who had a hard time with other daily team interactions in that they needed more quiet or time or whatnot and just really had a hard time adjusting to the format. > I'm working on redesigning my course to a TBL format.
