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.

Hi Michael, Dean and all,
Since I typically administer the iRATs at or near the beginning of class,
like Dean, I allow them to start early- during the break between
classes. However, TBL iRATs have caused an interesting
phenomenon. Students with disabilities very rarely take me up on
this opportunity. The 5 minute rule has almost eliminated the need
for even special needs students to start early.
Best,
Holly

them the additional time. but, no extra time for the gRAT.
