My brain is on lock down right now and can’t hold any more info. I have two exams this week and one of them is a midterm. How do they expect our brains to hold all this information? and why don’t these professors coordinate their test schedules?
There should be a rule, no more than one test a day allowed. I’m running into a real problem with spanish. One part of the exam will be listening comprehension. DUH! how is a deaf/hearing impaired person suppose to respond to this?
I discussed it with the professor and her response was (in a very heavy latin american accent….i think), “Pearl, I will repeat many times for you…okay?” NO PROF, no okay, no bien, comprendo pero yo no HEAR bien.
So how many times is it okay to tell her to repeat? five times? ten times or when we hit twenty do I shrug my shoulders and say, forget it? Its not as though I can lipread her because I just can’t. I’m a lousy lipreader and was never good at it even in english, my home language.
I’m much better at reading body language. But since I am not proficient in spanish, it would be hard for me to read the professor. Okay, I probably should tell her that I cannot take a comprehension exam, its just not possible. I’ll discuss it with her tomorrow. Maybe she’ll offer to give it to me in writing but that defeats the purpose of that part of the exam. So, does that mean that deaf/hard of hearing students should not be allowed to learn a new language? pffffffffffftt
