A student in my course needs computer accommodations for test taking. Isn that an unfair advantage over other students?
A. If the student has a documented disability, is registered with the disabled student services office and requires adaptive technology to access the course materials which includes exams, adaptive computer use is an accommodation, not an advantage. The student and disability student services staff should work with you to assist with setting up the test accommodations, determining the test location, and providing a test proctor if needed.
