Other Assessments

Certain types of assessment tasks present difficulties for disabled students or students with Specific Learning Difficulties and may therefore need to be adjusted. Your department will be open and responsive to your needs. Where appropriate, your department will work with you and your Disability Adviser to agree an adjustment to the assessment.

Example Scenario

A student who has speech difficulties may be concerned that a timed oral presentation, which will be marked for fluency and clarity of expression, could disadvantage them. The student should raise these concerns with their department. Potential adjustments could include: allowing the student extra time; marking the presentation for its content and not its delivery; creating a substitute non-oral assessment.
