The cover sheet is designed to let the marker know that the student has
dyslexia (or similar), and that the marker should not penalise the student
for errors of spelling, grammar or sentence construction (unless part of the
learning outcomes). Extra time in the exam does not really come into it, as
the marker does not need to know that.

Hello Derek
Many thanks for your response.
What sort of instructions are issued to the student and the marker at Hull.
Is the cover sheet issued only to those candidates who have extra time, etc
for dyslexia?
