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.

Hello,


i have a student who has done very poorly on his first two IRATs; his team however has done a very good job.

He wants me to go over his individual IRAT responses.  I hesitated to do this, telling him he went over each question with his team on the TRAT on which they received immediate feedback.

I wonder how you have treated this issue?

Thanks,

Tony Mento
