Hiya,
Wondered if anyone has come across this issue... one of our students
doing an undergraduate LLB Law course really needs an alternative
assessment method to three hour exams. Due to her condition she cannot
sit for that long and giving her rest breaks etc does not resolve the
issues for her. There is a possibility she could do some shorter exams,
and there is going to be more discussion on that option. But the School
are saying that the Law Society insist that there have to be exams for
the degree to be recognised as a qualification on the way to becoming a
solicitor etc. Words such as 'professional standards etc are being used.
I have already talked about the DDA and reasonable adjustments etc etc
and discussion is at a very early stage. but if anyone has come across
this or a similar situation please do let me know. It would be very
useful to be able to cite any precedents.
Cheers,
Liz
