Which of the following is an accommodation to support students in completing assignments?

• A. Giving students more time
• B. Dividing the assignment into chunks
• C. Providing calendar due dates
• D. Instructional materials and resources outside of class

Answer: (A)

Extending the time allowed to complete an assignment directly adjusts how the task can be completed without changing what is being asked. This accommodation helps students who need more processing, planning, or response time, so they can demonstrate their knowledge fully rather than being penalized by a tight deadline. It keeps the content and expectations the same while easing the pace, which is exactly what an accommodation is meant to do.

Dividing the assignment into chunks helps with structuring and pacing a long task, but it doesn’t change the overall amount of work or the time available. Providing calendar due dates gives reminders and supports planning, which aids organization but again doesn’t alter the task’s demands. Supplying instructional materials and resources outside of class improves access to information, yet it doesn’t modify the task requirements or the time frame.
