I also handle this similar to Molly and David. I let the peer evaluation take care of missed tRATs and Apps. I always explain to students who email me to apologize for missing a RAT that they need to explain their absence to their team-mates. A missed iRAT of course is given zero. I allow students to drop their lowest iRAT score. tRATs and Apps, however I do not police. I let the team peer evaluations take care of that.
