[nabs-l] Accessibility in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry

[Wasif, Zunaira]

For Organic chem 1 and 2 I built models of compounds in order to visualize better.  For Mass Spec and Infra Red, I needed the diagrams in raised line format from OSD, a lot of times I got a friend to draw it really quick for me after class.

Subject: [nabs-l] Accessibility in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry

Hello, 

 

I'd like to learn about adaptive ways for studying organic and biochemistry for students with little or no usable vision. I myself fall into this category. I graduated from Cornell in 2012, with a degree in animal science, and now am planning to go back for graduate studies in animal physiology. 

 

While at Cornell I concentrated in dairy farm management, and food science.
Unfortunately I did not have the time and finances to take the core microbiology, genetics, calc II, and chemistries that would have made for an easier transition and stronger application to graduate studies. 

 

Presently I am looking into taking the full year of organic chemistry (lec and lab), and at least one semester of biochemistry. I've heard of Independent Science and wondered if someone could share their first hand experiences using the probe ware. Any suggestions as how to take notes, study, and various formats others have used to read course material in these classes, and other resources would be greatly appreciated too. 

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Zac

 

P.S. This might be really pushing the envelope, but I wondered if anyone might have experience taking orgo and biochem online? The nearest school in the US that offers these courses are a couple hours' drive from where I live.
