Well I hope that there are not really any institutions giving extra
marks because a student has dyslexia. What they should really be
doing is not marking a student down as a result of dyslexia type
errors - poor spelling , grammar etc. Content is the name of the
game and should be marked accordingly.
It all depends on the needs of the student but if you wish to check
out our policy then visit our web site www.mmu.ac.uk/lsu
