Being Fair with Time

Dan,
This is true. There are a variety of reasons for why students -- all students -- use varying amounts of time in order to finish a given exam. The issue at hand is that all students have ENOUGH time to show what they know... that is why we don't collect exams from all students when the first student is finished. Just because THAT student finished quickly doesn't mean that all students should be expected to finish within the same time limit. It is for that reason that we sometimes give extended time to students with disabilities. We want them to have ENOUGH time to show us what they know.
