I would appreciate any advice regarding implementing TBL in an environmental health course at Master level. Some suggestions/outlines of team based in-class projects would be very helpful.

I drop the lowest IRAT. I explain in the syllabus that this is how I handle IRAT absences, regardless of the reason. If the student then has a 2nd absence, then I start asking about bona fide excuses, but it rarely gets to that point.
