Hello,
Another possibility would be to count only the first 66% of questions. This would give him double time.

Subject: Need advice on accommodating disability support requirements for test-taking
Hello,
Tomorrow I will commence my second semester of teaching Intro to IS, full-on TBL-style. Just this morning, however, a student who will be in one of my classes presented me with his Disability Support Services letter from my University requiring that I give him double time on tests and allow him to take his tests outside of the classroom environment.
This puts me in a huge bind. I cannot (nor do I wish to!) revamp my class in one day to accomodate this student's requirements. Has anyone encountered this situation before, and how did you (or do you think I should) handle the IRAT/TRAT situation in this context?
Thanks for any advice!
