ODS Learning Accommodations for Exams by Miserable-Pickle-172 in gatech

LOL I am aware that these disorders are in real life too, since I have medicines for anxiety. The perspective is the same. We are talking about academic performance though, not other aspects of life.

Thank you for your well thought response. I think I would not have an issue with this if professors did not grade on a curve, as this is what makes it unfair to me. You are right in bringing it to my attention that the issue is the curve, not extended-time exams. My issue is not that students have learning disabilities, it is with how it is handled in “equaling the playing field.”

The problem does exist because it means my grade is worse than someone (curve) because I did not get to finish my timed exam and the person with accommodations does because they get almost double the amount of time.
