Jim – aren’t the appeals only for GRAT – not IRAT? The question is that the team got GRAT correct – but the team (perhaps), on behalf of the individual, is appealing the IRAT results – not the team/GRAT results. They are appealing the “wrong” answer made on an IRAT, on behalf of just one – suggesting that the “wrong” answer might in fact be “right” – given whatever reasoned argument.

Would you still change an ‘individual’s” score?

I think this should probably be allowed

The team revisited the question, thought deeply enough about it to write a well written and well reasoned appeal….this is wonderful stuff

The team is rallying around a team member (cohesion)….also wonderful stuff

My only slight concern would be….if the bright student wrote the appeal by themselves…with no team input….then we don't get the above two wonderful's :-(

Subject: Appeals for i/tRATS

I didn't specify that this couldn't be done in the syllabus because, honestly, I didn't think about it. But one of my teams appealed a question on the RAT even though the team got it right on the tRAT, because one of the members of the team got the question wrong on the iRAT. The student who got the question wrong is one of the brighter students in the class, and their appeal was well written and well reasoned. I'm going to allow it this time because I didn't address it in the syllabus. But for future reference, should this be allowed?
