[nabs-l] inaccessibility in the class may end up costing me apassing grade!

[Karl Martin Adam]

Don't go to the dean, go to the department chair.  Only go to the 
dean if the department chair refuses to help you.  Following the 
proper chain of command is important if you want to be taken 
seriously.

I would take this  to the dean. The teacher is not giving you 
something you have obviously requested, if you can prove that 
you've even given an accommodation letter then so much the 
better. Don't wait on anybody, just go!!! It's 72 hours to 
Thanksgiving day, the end of the semester is right around the 
corner.

 Hi all,
 So, I have been having so many problems with my English class in 
that even with all of your advice, I can not get the comments 
feature in MS word to work properly.
 So I have talked with and emailed my professor extensively all 
semester and we have agreed that he would put his comments in 
parenthesis.
 The problem is, he hasn't!
 I received an email this morning that consisted of him telling 
me that since I had not turned in any acceptable final drafts, I 
could not pass the class. he went on to say that I did nothing 
with the comments he provided which would have made my papers a 
lot better.
 I have since emailed his supervisor to explain what has been 
going on, because I refuse to accept a failing grade because a 
professor would not listen to accommadations that he had agreed 
upon in writing, and spoken word many times.
 Should I push further and harder with the supervisor if I don't 
hear from him in the next few days? I did get an email back from 
him saying that he and I could not meet today, but he would look 
into the situation and talk with my teacher early tomorrow 
morning.
 What would you all do in this situation?
 Also, a few of my teachers assignments are completed on a 
website called pilot.
 The conversation boards on pilot are almost completely 
inaccessible.
 I can read other students postings, burt I can not reply to them 
at all. I have tried to inform my teacher of this problem as 
well. His response was that he was sorry that technology wasn't 
working, but that I should work with Disability Services more! My 
problem is I have already informed ODS (several times) about this 
acce3ssibility problem, as well as the inaccessible of outlook 
webmail (which wright state uses for their email provider,) and 
nothing has been done.
 So where do I go next?

 Thanks,
 Abigail Bolling
