I am currently investigating provision for students with dyslexia. At
present students here have the usual exam options of extra time, use of a
computer, a reader etc, but as an Art and Design institution, assessment
is usually based on assignments. for this reason, answers to some/all of
the following questions would be much appreciated.
1. Is dyslexia taken into consideration when work is marked?
2. If so, is the severity/form of dyslexia taken into consideration or is
a blanket policy operated (for example, X per cent added on to total mark
of degree)
3. If there is a blanket policy, what percentage is applied.
4. What are the arguments for/againt a blanket policy?
5. What would you think of 3 percent as a suggested grade increase?
Any infor/ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ami
