[nabs-l] having pop quizzes

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,
If you have access to a laptop that's probably the most convenient way
to do it.  Otherwise, saving your files to a flashdrive or sd card is
probbably the best way to go.  This way the professor would have
almost instant access to your materials just like how the sighted
students hand in their paper, and you wouldn't have to go anywhere or
set anything up with your ds office.  He can copy the file to his
computer and give you back your drive/card.  Just make sure you save
the file in txt or rtf format if it's not your BrailleNote's default
file type.  I've saved tests so many times in a braille format because
I wasn't thinking and had to go back in and change it so my professors
could read lol.
