[nabs-l] Concepts of Biology Class for the Spring Semester

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi Suzanne, this is Helga. There is not a lab portion of this course. But I 
forgot to mention that the when I talked to my Biology Professor today, he 
actually told me that he will assign us chapters of the book  to read in 
order to do the quizzes and homeworks that are in Blackboard. He actually 
told me that he is going to assign 8 chapters in order for ust to read. So 
that is why I was thinking in getting my book in Braill. I don't really like 
the book in PDF format. What do you think about that? Thanks and God bless!
P.S. By the way, Thank you so much for the suggestions!

I have taken two semesters of biology for science majors. One at SDSU in
1995 and I just finished one. I did not use the book at all. What I would
suggest is just have the specific diagram they go over or expect you to
know either done tactically or have a description of the picture written
up.

Our professor only tested on what was covered in class so the book was a
huge waste of money.

Here at ASU we have a blind biology grad student. She is working on
developing tactile diagrams for blind and visually impaired students.

Is there a lab portion to this this course? If so get the lab manual ahead
of time and find out in detail what will be required so the needed
accommodations can be made.
