[nabs-l] Advanced foreign language advice needed

[Sophie Trist]

Aleeha, what I would do is this situation is get the class notes 
onto your braillenote if possible. Then, simply add to them and 
enrich them. This strategy won't work for everyone--some people 
must take their own notes--but it's what I do for many of my 
classes. That will eliminate the switching-between-documents 
problem.
HTH, Sophie

Hi Chris,
I have tried this before. The only problem with that is that I 
have to take some information from the power point or other such 
materials and put it in my notes. I find that switching between 
documents and using the block commands is too slow for college 
classes and I feel like I am losing new information while I am 
doing this. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

 Hi Aleha,

 Is it possible for you to put the class notes on your 
BrailleNote instead of
 your laptop? You can then go back and forth between the class's 
notes and
 your own using the space with the ou contraction (1-2-5-6.) This 
is what I
 do in my Spanish classes.

 Hope this helps,

 Chris

 I was wondering if any of you have taken 300 level foreign 
language classes
 and if so, how did you keep track of all that is happening in 
the class? I
 am finding it difficult to read the class notes on my laptop, 
take my own
 notes on my Braillenote apex, and also try to comprehend what 
the instructor
 is saying since it is all in Spanish. Let me know what you 
think. Any ideas
 would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks,
