Hi Dia Taha I would highly suggest a TI 84 talking calculator. To get
through this class,  I also met with my instructors a lot on a regular
basis. I also made sure to do all of my math exams    with my instructors. I
also used a Brail writer   to work the problems out and read the information
back to my instructors. I also had a notetaker in the class that was writing
down printed materials off the board; I would bring those notes to the
disability office, they would typeI would bring those notes to the
disability office, they would type them up, and email them to me. Carbon
paper was used, so that the student that the instructor selected would also
already have a printed copy for them self.    Hope this helps.    Sent from
