Use technology to -original message- Subject: Re: [AI] How do you respond? Show leniency to visually impaired students, allow oral exams From: Ajay Minocha <ajayminoc...@gmail.com> Date: 30-05-2014 10:19 am
Hello, According to me, oral exams are not the way to go forward. And yes, the word "leniency" is totally unacceptable to me. You can't develop yourself in a skill based subject like science/ finance/ maths if you are dealt with leniency. We should stress on reasonable accommodations i.e. talking calculators, tools to describe graphs/ accessible equation editors but not leniency at all. P.s: didn't want to hurt anybody, sharing my own opinion from my past experiences.
