Cue Sheets
A cue sheet is an accommodation that students use during quizzes, tests, and exams. Cue sheets support students who have a documented health or learning disability that results in a significant memory deficit.聽They enable students to trigger information they have learned throughout the course in a testing situation.
Each cue sheet is unique to the individual student and will likely be meaningful only to them.聽
Cue sheets won鈥檛 help if you have not learned or understood the course material.聽
Cue sheets are not:聽
- Answer sheets or 鈥渃heat sheets鈥澛
- Substitutes for studying聽
- Open textbooks聽
- An exemption to learning the course material聽
Cue sheets might include the use of any of the following:聽
- 础肠谤辞苍测尘蝉听
- Names, dates聽
- Key terms, word lists聽
- Short phrases, definitions聽
- Pictures, diagrams聽
- Tables, charts, formulas聽
Cue sheets are not meant to provide students with answers. Any information that is to be remembered as part of an essential learning outcome should not be included on a cue sheet. For example, for a quiz, test, or exam that requires students to define key terms, cue sheets would not include word-for-word definitions but may include acronyms.聽
How cue sheet accommodations work
Students, course instructors, and accessibility advisors all have a role to play in the successful implementation of this accommodation.聽
