[nabs-l] Question.

Right.  Astronomy, though I haven't taken it before, is visual,  However, if
you go through the class syllabus, and talk to the professor and discover
that you can do it without a notetaker, then do so.  However, if you really
need a notetaker, then get one.

It seems to me that the best course would be to contact your professor and
ask them about what will be happening in class and whether it would be a
good idea for you to have an assistant.  
Explain to your professor how you learn and your experiences in other
classes and point out all the ways of making things accessible you have
access to.  If you and your professor come to the conclusion that you don't
need an assistant, then don't get one.  But don't just make an assumption
one way or the other without information.

Afternoon, Mariya,

         Frankly, I'm surprised this is even a question ! First of all,
without any experience in the class, you can't know the color of teach's
style or other minutia about the configuration of the class. So yes, take
all the help you can get. Imagine trying to, after the class is already well
underway, securing an assistant?  At 11:25 AM 1/7/2016, Mariya Vasileva via

Hi guys, I have a question. I'm going to be taking a descriptive astronomy
course this semester. One of the OSD staff thought that I might need a
person in the class with me to describe a lot of the visual things that will
be shown throughout the course. Is this a good idea or is it not. I
personally, don't think that I really need it. Because I'm good at
visualization and I just don't think it's really all that necessary.
