[nabs-l] doing math homework in college

Hi,

I had a poor experience with Statistics (the closest I got to college
math) so I'm not going to be much help probably.
Will you be using a notetaker to type out your math? If so, I believe
there is a notetaker that can be used to write math but I could be
wrong (someone correct me if I am).
Or will you be writing your math out manually? If so, you may be able
to find a local transcriber that could transcribe the math for you
(you could use any college funding to pay for the service/your college
may be able to). I'm not really sure, just some thoughts I have.
Keep in mind though that work going from you, to a transcriber and
then to your professor could slow down your time for completing the
class unless a very time-efficient system is set up.
Not sure this helps but hopefully someone else can add more information to this.
Good luck!

Hoping to continue on to elementary algebra in springtime. anyway, how have those of you who are totally blind gone about getting the work for each problem transcribed from Braille to print so professors can see what you did to come to the conclusion you drew? did you have help from a scribe, or is there a computer program that works with either a screen reader or braille display that can aid me in this process? I know math is going to get more and more challenging as I go forward, so I'm trying to get as much feedback and as many suggestions as possible on how to independently and efficiently get my work done for college-level math courses. thanks very much in advance for your thoughts and I look forward to reading them.
