My TBL students have complained that my RATS are too difficult. This occurs even though I try to limit RAT questions to lower levels Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives ("knowledge" , "comprehension" and "application" ---- no "synthesis" or "evaluation" and no computations). Also, it occurs even though I give them tips ( a list of terms ) before the RAT is given. So, I am thinking about giving stronger tips. For example, consider the below question. 6. The gap ratio expresses the repricing gap for a given time period as a percentage of a. equity. b. total liabilities. c. current liabilities. d. total assets. e. current assets. I could give them the premise of all or some of the questions before the RAT. That is I would give them the below before the RAT. The gap ratio expresses the repricing gap for a given time period as a percentage of I worry this could make it too easy. Has anyone out there done this? Any advice? Thanks in advance. Duane R.
