[blindlaw] Class Notes

[Alosha Moore]

Amy:
No, if The blind student requests to have someone provide them with notes, they are not required to continue taking their own notes. That note taker is required to be competent and cognizant of both visually presented material as well as auditory. The blind student is allowed to request the note taker to be aware of specific information that they deem pertinent, but it is better to find a note taker that already takes good notesand does not have to make major changes to suit both of you.
My note taker happens to be one of the top in our class and we've set up a drop box system that suits both of us. Remember, this is a very reasonable request as many professors depend on conveying information visually which does not suit the blind student at all.hope this helps and feel free to ask for clarification.
Warm regards, Alosha Moore.

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?
