Hi Tony, I have had this happen with International students or students where English is a second language. Some of them truly wish to understand the material better, and did not understand how the team and class reached a decision, because the discussion went too quickly for them to capture the information. For these students, a one-on-one meeting can be a rich and in-depth discussion of the material. For others, I've discovered during our one-on-one session that the student has a closed mind to learning and is nagging for more points. After giving some basic tips about how to study and take my RATs, I end those sessions. I reiterate to both types of students that the purpose of the IRAT is to prepare for hands-on material done later in class, and my RATs are a low percentage of the overall class grade.
