Hi

here is my rationale for possibly share team score

if you have been a great contributor to your team all semester....and miss a tRAT....we have the team decide whether to share the score

this acknowledge life sometimes getting in the way...and generating positive social capital is worth it

also with our grading scheme...an individual tRAT is 1-2% of total course grade

“The remarkable thing about Chase’s work is that he is as virtuosic with his acting as he is with his musical performance. He really invites you in with his characters and then takes you a ride with the music.  I’ve never seen a performer like Chase before.”

Fringe Festival Executive Director

I'm new to TBL as well and am very surprised that some class policies allow students to receive scores for work they didn't do/learning they didn't demonstrate. Can anyone share the theory/purpose behind such a policy?

In my class, students do not receive scores if they are not present, but students can drop their lowest iRAT/tRAT scores from the final (so, if they missed one, they can drop those 0s). This has worked well for me (albeit, only taught using TBL twice)---no complaints.

Donna - our course policy which seems to work well - if the absence is
"excused" (e.g., contacting the faculty member for the planned absence
{illness, car trouble} prior to the class), the IRAT score is the class
mean, and the same GRAT score as the groupŠif not excused, then zero for
IRAT and GRAT
