I knew I
was never going to be able to sit an exam, the way my dyslexia works it
means that
an exam situation would just not be feasible so I negotiated with my
lecturers to find a whole
range of other ways to have my skills and abilities tested that didn’t
require me to sit an exam.
So for
example I may write another essay, I gave a verbal presentation to one
lecturer, a group
of us in one of the courses I did combined together and we actually
recreated a 1920’s radio
show so that basically required us to do a whole lot of research, to write
the radio show then to
basically produce it. So I looked at a whole lot of things.
I needed
note takers because in lectures I wasn’t able to hear what the lecturer was
saying and
take notes and actually have anything that made sense. I needed to be able
to take my library
books out for much longer than other students because it takes me that much
longer to read and
absorb a book.
