Hi
There are some fairly good arguments against making accommodations for
incorrect spelling and grammar in assignments where students have access
to learning support (inc proofreading!) and technology. I can't quite
see how that can be extended to exams though.
At UCWorcester, students are issued with stickers which can be attached
to exam scripts.
Regards
