Dear
All,
I have been asked
for some guidance with regard to marking work for dyslexic students.
Whilst we have a front sheet for dyslexic students' work asking for tutors not
to mark down students for poor spelling/grammar, tutors have been asking what
percentage they should be allowing for to take account of these
difficulties. I suspect this is a very grey area as it probably is for
non-dyslexic students, some of whom will also have poor spelling and grammar
of course.
Does anyone have
any advice/guidance or definitive percentages that they have
used?
Any contributions
gratefully accepted.
