I hope I can be allowed to jump in on your conversation concerning accessible format for math classes. What worked best for you?

Fabulous Noah,
I faced similar challenges, but I kept fighting for my rights and my
university finally made the right moves and provided me with material

tough.
What is your focus in computer science?
Imran.
