[humanser] statistics course

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

I took a stats course just last semester.  Here are some things I
would suggest.

1.  The professor really is key.  You want someone who will be willing
to make reasonable accomodations and help you get the concepts, so
pre-screening your profs before you sign up for their section is good.
 I was able to talk to my disability services staff and they put me in
touch with a great professor who was willing to set up office hour
appointments and go over material ooutside of class with me.
Definitely try to pick someone who will be willing to work with you.

2. For graphs there are several things you could do depending on what
type of graph it is.  If your class is excel-based at all you can
perform a lot of the graph functions in excel.  If not, talk to your
ds office about them making the graphs for you.  My prof was very good
about giving the ds people advanced notice of what the homework would
be, so they were able to make my graphs and print them out on the
Tiger for me to feel.  In other situations when you have something
like a table, your professor can write that in a microsoft word
document.  We had a system of putting guided note sheets and any
diagrams like that in documents on a flashdrive and it worked out very
well.

3.  I'd get in touch with Arielle about your specific program, but
keep in mind that if it is not accessible to you then your DS office
and prof need to work with you to find a reasonable alternative for
the solution.  If you have not started any dialogue between your
professor, the ds office, and yourself yet I would do that as quickly
as possible.
