professor using Wifi. Also, if the professor needs access to the writing in
class, if you are using a laptop, you can have your instructor look at the
screen. If you are doing writing as a group, you can type things out and
let your group members look at the screen. I had one situation in which we
had an assignment as a group that we had to write a list of things and then
place them on a white board for the class to see, so I just took down the
list on my laptop and brought the laptop up while another group member
copied what I had written onto the board. As far as assignments that I do
alone in class, my professors so far have been fine with me emailing it
whenever I was able to get internet access, whether it be at school or when
I got home as long as I sent it in on the day of the assignment. Perhaps
you can make an appointment with the professor ahead of time to work out a
plan or place it in your letter of accomodations that you need to email
class assignments after class is over or at home. Another way to do it is a
thumb drive that you save for this purpose that the professor can get the
file from and then give back to you. If your note taker has a USB drive,
this might be a good option.

>>> Hi all,

>>> Professors ask us students to do in-class writing sometimes. Typically
its unannounced; its not like its on the syllabus but the professor knows
it usually; I mean they know when they will assign in class writing.
Students are given a certain  amount of time to write and then hand in the
writing. They may share the writing with each other or the class as well.
>>>
>>> How do you handle in class writing assignments? Do you write them on a
notetaker or laptop you take to school? How do you hand it in since we are
not writing on paper? So far, I’ve usually written outside class and
emailed the copy to the professor.

>>> I have good enough braille skills to read from my braille display to
other students, but I don’t usually finish the writing.
>>> I wish there was a computer lab in every building. Then I could walk
over there, type my writing prompt and then email it to the professor.

>>> I look forward to ideas.
