Can I put in an early 'me too' and ask if respondents to Clare would mind
posting their answers to the dis-forum list too? If nothing else it might
reduce the number of people hassling you for your results Clare...
Happy Christmas all!

Subject: Assessment policy & guidelines for dyslexic students
I am seeking information on good practice in assessment/exam
arrangements
for dyslexic students in HEIs, to help inform a review of policy and
practice at UCN. I am particularly interested in developments since
the
National Working Party of Dyslexia in HE report was published in
1999.
I would appreciate the following information from HEIs across the
sector.
Please email your response to me directly at

1. Name of insitution
2. What evidence of dyslexia does your institution accept in support
of
alternative exam applications?
3. How much extra time is granted to dyslexic students in exams?
4. What other arrangements are permitted in written exams, eg?
- word processors?
- readers?
- amanuensis?
- stickers to identify papers of dyslexic students?
- alternative marking strategies?
- alternatives to exams?
- other?
5. I would appreciate a copy of any policy &/or guidelines for
tutors on
marking work of dyslexic students.
6. What precautions are in place to ensure maintenance of academic
standards?
7. Any other comments?
Thank you for your time,
