Mike,

That makes good sense to me. It’s easy to defend because it doesn’t harm the student, and doesn’t provide unearned benefit. It turns out that our LMS can handle this easily as well.

Thank you,

Jim

Jim,

I am dealing with the same issue...once for illness, once for travel issues beyond ones control and once for oversleeping. I decided to handle all three the same. I did not think any of the three deserved the tRAT points as they were not present. Certainly, none deserved iRAT points. I am calculating their grade by reducing the denominator by the total points of the iRAT + tRAT. In this way it neither hurts or helps but increases the impact of other grading events.

Subject: Student missed a tRAT

Hello all,

I need some advice on how to handle grading when a student misses a tRAT. In my TBL class, grades are given for the iRAT, and each student is given the tRAT score. I had two students miss tRATs. One student missed the tRAT because she thought the class was an hour later. The other student missed the tRAT due to illness (verified).

My initial decision was to give the tRAT score to the ill student and a 0 to the late student. We, the faculty, are discussing how to make a clear, fair policy for when a student misses the tRAT. There are several permutations of this scenario that could make it grayer than we would like. What is your opinion?

Thank you,

Jim
