[nabs-l] Making college Biology and math accessible?

[Miranda]

Hi Mark,
I am proficient in computers, and I also have a Pac Mate. What are some of the ways that may work best for showing my work in print? Excel, Word, ETC?
I completely agree with the sighted biology lab assistance and good working relationship with the professor as well.
Thanks so much, and Merry Christmas to you too!

In Christ, Miranda

In my opinion, the most important part of making classes accessible is 
having a good working relationship with the professor. Without this, nothing 
else you do will work. For math, I would suggest you have some method of 
being able to show your work in print. This way, you will be able to either 
go to the professor's office hours, or a student tutor to get help. There 
are several methods of doing this on the computer without vision.

For biology, working with a lab partner or assistant that will act as your 
eyes is crucial. You don't want the lab partner or assistant doing the work 
for you, just assisting with the visual components.

This is all I can think of for now,
Merry Christmas
Mark
