I've taught a fairly large introductory course, and every exam we'd have maybe 1-5% of the class taking a 1.5 or double length exam in a separate room, depending on the severity of their "disability." I'm not an expert or anything, but all of these kids looked fine for me. I suspect a lot of them got their disability certification while in public schooling at the behest of their parents, who wanted to give them an advantage.
- dfj225 16y agoIn what country? Also, does your school require students who claim this disability to be diagnosed by a doctor?
- Lewisham 16y agoI don't know. Having TA'd during an exam with the disability cases, I can see your point (nothing looks physically wrong) but generally I find that they're given far too much time anyway, they seem to finish within a reasonable timeframe. If your exams are written in such a way that they're completely time-dependent anyway, you have bigger problems with your examination procedures.
