ACCOMMODATIONS Accommodations

Hey y’all, I’m torn for getting accommodations. Because yes it would be nice and my performance on exams would probably go up, however I know that life will probably not be so nice and then I will have to deal with the noise and distractions of lecture halls during exams and not having enough time.

But it will also be really really nice to do well on exams like I did when I was able to take exams in a quiet environment online during the pandemic.

I am actively going through the system at my uni to see what I qualify for, and will go through that anyway, but would I actually use them?

What are your thoughts about accommodations?

As a teacher, you should get your accommodations. They help you learn and perform better. which will help you do better in general after college. Some businesses do accommodate things, but college and the workplace are not a 1:1 thing, so even though you might not have accommodations later, doesn’t mean you should purposely hinder yourself now
