LOL! Great point. It’s all about perspective… |
This. I have 200+ students each semester. 10-20% have accommodations of some kind. I do my best to provide the common ones to all students, but sometimes I miss something here or there. It is common courtesy to address the professor as she prefers, and not act like she is an idiot for not remembering every detail of your accommodation. Kindly ask her how long the regular and extended time limits will be during the class period before the exam. You’re expecting far more of her than you are expecting of yourself. |
You’re a guy, I can tell. |
I don't know how that works but projects are different than exams. I have never received extra time to do assignments. It is an accommodation for some students because someone from student services (they are moving to call it this instead of disability department) sent me an email by mistake to say I would get extra time to do assignments. She mixed me up with another student. ADHD, and anxiety are some disabilities that get extra time. Additional time is pretty standard for most students who are registered with student services. Having a learning disability doesn't mean you aren't smart. My father has a statistics PhD and got extra time in grad school. The university suggested he get tested for ADHD or other learning disabilities and I believe they paid for it. He was smart enough to get a chance to come to the US to study and be a TA. I have something very different from him. I am also on a merit scholarship. The paperwork is sometimes hard for students to get because testing for learning disabilities is so expensive. I usually finish my assignments early because I get so stressed if I do things last minute. I have a friend who I think is entitled because she asks for a lot of extra time to complete assignments, and she hasn't gone through the process of registering and filling out the paperwork to get accommodations. She gets mad if they agree to extra time but takes points off because she's late. I have never asked for additional time to turn in projects or assignments. |
Can't do that if the classes are online. OP said the classes were online in her OP. |
OP here. It's one detail i.e. time and a half. It's not like my accommodation is exotic. It's the most common one there is and I have needed it 4-5 times this semester. She has missed this on every exam. If I took the exams in person it's pretty hard to mess up extra time, but I don't take it in person. It's very important she gets it right because exams only unlocked sometimes for 1 day and if she doesn't program it in right, I won't get that accommodation unless I refuse to do the exam on the day it's due. |
I am not a guy. |
Are you messaging her before the exam to remind her? |
Professors are some of the laziest people. They should have done this at the beginning of the semester when they were emailed your accommodations by the disability dept. It's an online class so they don't have to spend time giving exams. It's outsourced to the proctored companies. They need to get it together. |
Sounds like you need to be more proactive. |
No. It sounds like the professors need to do their jobs. In a work situation, HR helps out with this. Employees don't have to visit their manager to remind them of an recurring accommodation. The college has a department that handles this for a reason. The professors should be more organized. They expect students to be organized, follow deadlines etc. Not only are they failing to follow deadlines but they are breaking the law by denying a time and a half accommodation. At the start of the semester they receive emails with accommodations and they can write a list of who gets extra time. It's not rocket science. |
You address her as she requests. Period. She earned her degree. |
A professor should know better. We learn about this in elementary school. |
Email your professor and cc: the disabilities office. |
