Hi James,

One approach that has worked well for me in the past is that I have given students who miss, for an acceptable reason, the average of their teammates' individual scores for the iRAT and the team score for the tRAT. I second Ann's method for dealing with planned excused absences.  I don't give extra time for students who arrive late.

Hello,


I am implementing TBL into my Economics Courses for the first time next Spring. I have not decided how to deal with absences regarding the IRAT. I would appreciate any advice anyone may have. Thanks,
