So, that’s why I’m reaching out to you. I am wanting to take chemistry next year, but this has been shut down because of safety reasons. I would like to point out that I have, I believe, 20-500 vision. I think, so this may be different. I have cooked by myself with no help at all sometimes. I am wondering how a blind student could take chemistry?
