Dear rahul I have done my graduation in economics. From Mumbai university. I
had used a plastic paper which is available with NAB, the speciality of this
paper is by drawing on this paper with pen a sited person can see at the
same time you can feel the graph with your hands but it requires practice
but at the end of the day you get the satisfaction of doing something by
your own for more info please Skype me ID is zoher.kheriwala

Subject: [AI] A question regarding graphs
Hi all,
A few months ago, I had asked a question about how the marking is done
for graphs and diagrams for visually impaired students in the HSC
board exams.
So, many people told me that visually impaired students do not have to
make graphs in economics.
Instead, they get all the marks on the basis of the rest of the answer
that they've written.
I asked the board people about this.
So, they gave me a copy of the circular which states that visually
impaired students do not have to make graphs and they further asked me
to attach the copy of that to my answer sheet so that the person
checking the paper will be able to award marks accordingly.
I followed the same procedure in 10th, but, unfortunately, I did not
get any marks for the diagram question in my paper.
I wasn't able to see my answer sheet, as the provisions of the board
do not allow any student to see the answer sheet after it has been
checked.
However, I got 96 marks, so I'm pretty sure that I lost all my 4 marks
because of the diagram question.
So, even though the board people have told me that they will allot
marks on the basis of the theoretical part of my answer, I still don't
know whether I should trust them or not.
I can practice all the main graphs with my writer before the exam so
that she'll be able to properly draw them in the exam.
If I do this, then I won't have to attach any circular with my paper,
and my paper will be checked like anyone else's.
I have also been told that the papers of visually impaired students
are checked separately.
I assume that they find out that a student is visually impaired by
seeing the circular which VI students attach to their papers.
So, I also feel that they may not properly evaluate my papers and
might give me just above-average marks on account of sympathy and
pity, without actually checking my paper.
So, naturally, this can have an adverse impact on my percentage.
So, according to you, should I ask my writer to draw the graphs in the
exam, or should I simply attach the circular which the board people
have given?
Your help would be really appreciated.
I hope that my question makes sense.
Cheers,
Rahul
