Behind the Scenes at the Test Centre

If you've been teaching at TMU for any length of time, you've likely received a notice of a "Test Centre booking" from a student who is registered with AAS. Or maybe a student in your class missed an exam due to illness and had to book a make-up test. In this Teach and Talk, Brian Williams, Manager of the Test Center and Accessibility Services, takes you behind the scenes at the Test Center to give you a better sense of what happens at each stage of an accommodated or make-up test. Brian will also clarify some of the commonly misunderstood procedures. You will leave this session with a greater understanding of what goes into an accommodated test for students, staff, and faculty.

Facilitated by:

• Brian Williams, Manager of the Test Center and Accessibility Services
• Jenny Sampirisi (AAS)

This event is part of the AAS Teach & Talk Sessions.
