[nabs-l] switching majors?

[Rob Blachowicz]

?
I disagree.  Depending on the person only of course.  Just because one blind 
person can do it doesn't mean another can.  I do not agree with the college 
trying to convince anyone to change majors because of a course but I do 
believe the student can request a waver for classes they don't believe they 
need ssuccess.  Just like with reduced fair cards for poorer people that are 
blind should we use them-- and this is the great debate.

No, in my opinion that isn't the answer.  One degree isn't
interchangeable for another in most instances, particularly in a
technical field.  Further, at the risk of offending, I would say that
if you are unable to come up with a solution for this class, then
even if you change, you will come up against another obstacle after
the change, and have to change again.  You may have to be creative,
like using a reader to run Project for you, but it is best to solve
the problem and move forward, not avoid it.
