I put my IRATs in our Testing Center and make it available for students
needing an accommodation (of more time, etc...) on the day of the
IRAT/TRAT. They can take it before class. I just ask that they finish in
time to come to class no later than 20 min in so they can participate in
the TRAT.

“Keep working, keep striving, never give up. Fall down 7 times get up 8.
Without commitment, you’ll never start. But more importantly, without
consistency, you’ll never finish.
Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship. So, keep moving, keep
growing, keep learning.
See you at work.
