Subject: Dyslexia and final assessment
Date: 18 April 1997 16:13
Can anyone give me any advice on this issue, since we have no precedent.
What are the implications for final degree assessment when a student
presents with Dyslexia very close to the end of the course?
We have a Year 3 student who has just undergone assessment and been granted
special exam arrangements and is receiving help from the Dyslexia Support
Tutor just before her final assessment period. She already has two
semester's worth of marks which will count towards her final classification
which might have been much better if she had received the special provision.
Clearly, she may wish to appeal that her marks would have been better
if........
Has anyone resolved a similar situation?
