Subject: Re: Accomodating test-takers who need more time
I have a student who does not want anyone to know that she receives
accommodation so she picks up the IRAT in the morning from me and
tries to answer the questions (on her honour closed book). She then
comes to class without it and answers it there alongside her
classmates for the second time. This seems to work from both our
perspectives but does open up the possibility for academic dishonesty.
