Hi Katya
I've been asked to make recommendations of this type on a few occasions
but have never done so - tho I acknowledge the difficulties that some
dyslexic students face recalling information whilst under time pressure
etc.
Unless the University definitely does have a policy/history of allowing
it, I'd be very wary of making such a recommendation. I'd be inclined
to flag that the student has requested it, but suggest that she discuss
the issue independently with the Uni.
In any case, two pages can contain a lot of notes - and could provide a
significant advantage in some types of exam.
Regards
Peter
