We have also decided that extensions are usually inappropriate for Open Assessments: they are hard to quantify; they often don't actually help; they lead to piling up of assessments. It's more a matter of (even more critical) time management - and we do offer tuition on that topic to dyslexic students. --------------- Dr Alistair Edwards, University Adviser on Disability Department of Computer Science, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD phone: 01904 432637, fax: 01904 432767 email: [log in to unmask] Web: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/~alistair/disability/AoD.html Secretary: Chris Linfoot, [log in to unmask], phone: 01904 432637 --------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
