[nabs-l] Assignments with copy editing

Ashley,
I can email you off list with a document that describes some often used
editing symbols.
Has your instructor ever gone through these symbols with the class or
you? Considering asking them, or a tutor knowledgeable on the subject,
to go over these symbols with you.
One example is that you would circle a word that is misspelled or used
out of context. A line through a word usually means to cut it.
So I guess, if you know the specific symbol-- like circle or carrot--
and you knew how and when to use them, you could direct a scribe to make
that mark on the necessary correction.
You can email me off list if you have more questions.
If you use JAWS, it is possible to edit. Turn on the "all punctuation"
feature with JAWS, but you will have to be careful to watch for commonly
confused words (like their and there) and misspelled words. These can
be tedious. If your DSO can not Braille the test, I believe Brailleing
it on your own would be considered a reasonable accomodation. Explain
the need to your professor to be able to read the test, just like
everyone else, so you do not miss corrections.

Hi,
Yes I mean the copy editing symbols that editors use. They are
standard; I
can use a reader for tests, but how will I tell them what symbol to
write? I don't know if they have names. Also I have to have it in
braille to see
commas, other punctuation and spelling. I hope my professor lets me
braille
the article for copy editing at home before the test.
My school does not provide braille for tests nor do they have up dated
technology.
This wouldn't be such an issue if they could emboss tests.

Ashley,
I am an editor, and I also have assignments in class where we use
universal symbols for copy editing. I am a creative writing major with
a minor in public relations so I am familiar with this issue.
There are two ways you can approach this.
1. create your own way to mark errors. I use JAWS and have done this
for my classes for creative writing and public relations classes. Since
I can not independently make these marks, and JAWS can not either, my
instructors have allowed me to make corrections in a way that is
accessible. My instructors have also applied this for corrections on my
writing. For example: We may go too (to) the festivel (festival) after
picking Jake up (comma) but him (he) may not have muney (money).
In copy editing, there are specific symbols used for corrections, but I
have used the same paranthetical corrections, as demonstrated above, for
PR writing too.
2. Use a reader/scribe for your test. They can read the test (though
you will need a copy I suppose to point out the errors). Use whatever
method you are comfortable with so you can read the test too, and
Indicate what is to be corrected then have them draw the necessary
symbol. You will be telling them exactly what to do, and there is no
reason you shouldn't be able to do this.

Hi all,
I?m taking an online editing class. We?re supposed to apply editing
symbols to some assignments Additionally we take tests in person at the
testing center. The professor said
?
The tests
?involve applying proof reading symbols to edit a document provided at
the Testing Center. (A copy of the usual synbols will be provided.)
So how can I do this part? I skipped over that symbol page when reading
since its not text. Now I realize I need to use them. I thought about
enlarging them and trying to see them with my vision, central vision.
But what else can I do for this? I?m reading with a reader. Do I need
to complete the visual work with a reader? Even then I can?t say reader
draw a punctuation symbol because they don?t have names, at least I
don?t think the symbols have names.
The class is technical editing so we?re supposed to write business
corespondence and edit existing documents. I?ll see if I cancopy
directions from the next assignment so you see what its about.
Thanks.

Marcia,
Since I have lived in Minnesota all my life, I have gotten pretty used
to winter travel. It is something one can adjust to over time, but I am
sure it is difficult
for those in areas that are getting unusual weather. Still, it can take
some getting used to. Whether or not one has other disabilities, it
doesn't seem
appropriate to me for anyone to be laughing at whatever misadventures
you might have unless you are also laughing at them, and I gather that
you were
not. However, I also don't believe it is just the super-blind who
master such obstacles, either. It can take time and work, and such
travel will always be
easier for some than for others. I hope you don't write off the
possibility that you might be able to overcome some of the winter travel
challenges as
something only the superblind can do, and I also hope that you can find
people who will be supportive.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

I am very curious as to how they put this list together. I like
Portland's system quite a bit, and Denver's is pretty solid considering
how far-reaching it is.
alot of these systems differ from san francisco in that if you are
looking at SF proper's transportation system, it only serves San
Francisco and maybe a few parts outside of it. There is certainly a
system of transit agencies thatwhen counted, servefromBErkleyto San
Jose, and points between. You can even get to both San Francisco and
Oakland's airports via public trans. L.A. is notoriously suspect. I do
have to call into question the Methodology of this list. Now, I can
have a problem with this "scientific study" *smile*

I have not tried their software, but from what I understand, their
method of teaching language is highly visual in nature. It involves
looking at pictures/videos and saying out loud what is happening in the
foreign language. The idea is to get you to think in a foreign language
by connecting what you see to what you are saying without translating to
english first.
I haven't used their products but I checked out the program a couple
years back because I was interested. This was the understanding I got
and it turned me off.
An accessible alternative is languagepod101.com. They have courses
available in a whole bunch of languages. I have been using their
russian site to try and learn some russian and it has been very
accessible.
Hope this helps.
