Hi Jim,
Thanks for the quick response. I didn’t provide enough detail- there was ambiguity in the question, and I granted an appeal from another team as they outlined where the ambiguity was and how it could be changed.
However this team didn’t detail this but simply referred to the Scantron results. I was interested as this is my 5th year of using TBL and it’s the first time a team has tried this argument.

Ps
If students declare question ambiguity....they need to provide reworded question that clears up ambiguity..according to our appeal form
No reworded question...no appeal

Hi All,
Yesterday I ran a TBL and for the first time one of my teams when writing the appeal justified it by saying that only 25% of students got that question right, so it must have been ambiguous. I use the Scantron in class so that students can see for each question how they went, and this team has used the information accordingly. I won’t grant this appeal as I think they have to justify why a question was ambiguous, or why the answer was wrong, but wondered if others have had similar experience and how they handled it?
