[blindlaw] Class Notes

[Sy Hoekstra]

I think you should be given whatever accommodations you need to both take
part in class and end up with solid notes. So if that means you don't take
notes while someone else does, that's fine. Also, anyone who actually
scrutinizes and remarks on whether you're taking notes is a bit ridiculous.
And yes, you should definitely feel free to ask your note taker to take
better notes, or switch to a person who is better at taking notes. I have
never heard of guidelines on this subject, but that doesn't mean they don't
exist. My undergraduate school definitely did quality control on my note
takers. But I just took my own notes in law school.

Subject: [blindlaw] Class Notes

Hello everyone, 

I have a few questions about note takers provided by the school and clas
notes.  1. If a person is granted a note taker, is the blind student
required to take notes and should that blind student be scrutinized about
the fact that they are or are not also taking notes?  2.  Are there
guidelines that schools provide the note taker that indicates what they can
or can not include in the class notes?  3.  Is anything said in class
allowed to be included in the class notes by the note taker?  4.  Is the
blind student allowed to request things  that are said in class that are not
currently included in the class notes to be included in the notes provided
by the note taker?

,If there is any other information regarding notetakers and class notes that
I may not have thought of, please don't hesitate to throw it in.
