[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was a Head TA at top 10 university and he was in charge of grading exams, papers etc. He said about 25-30% get caught cheating and that about the same % asks for special "accommodations" based on ADH/ADHD etc. every single time there is a test, paper etc. He thinks most of those seeking untimed test, extra time etc. were fake.[/quote] Well, I have taught at an Ivy and a SLAC and this was not my experience [i]at all[/i], not even close. The percentage granted accommodations was much smaller and the students who were allowed extra time rarely took it. [/quote] If the numbers have not made clear to you, there is a wide discrepancy between schools; there is also a wide discrepancy in subjects. Might I also suggest that your tests were not the kind that those who had accommodations felt they needed to take in order to do well? The fact that they did not take the extra time says it all: word gets around.[/quote]
