Hi Cath

 

I’m afraid I’d have reported him to the awarding body in respect of the disruption for the first exam (and have had to do so recently for several students).

 

Unless there is a medical condition that has prompted the behaviour I would stop the exam and refuse to allow him/her to continue.  I’d also not allow them to have the separate room if the only grounds was disruptive behaviour – they either behave or they don’t sit.  Or if they sit and misbehave they get reported.

 

Regards

Lorna

 

 

Hi

 

Just wondering how you deal with a student who has been put in separate room to take his exam due to his potential disruptive behaviour.  His behaviour during the exam was very bad, swearing, refusing to do any  work etc.

 

He was granted an exam concession of a prompter, my question is how much should the invigilator and prompter put up with, should the prompter have spent time trying to persuade him to behave and get on with his work or should they just have stopped the exam due to his behaviour.

 

What are your thoughts on this kind of situation?
