[nabs-l] taking quizzes

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,

How do you take quizzes? Does it depend on the class?
I don’t have many classes with quizzes in college. I take tests with a pc in the testing center. 

For quizzes, I’ve done them orally with the professor at their office, sometimes. I’ve sometimes had a notetaker in class and they assist me and we go out to the hall for the quiz.
Other times, I use the testing center.

I might take survey of american literature this semester.
Her quizzes are rather short and I’d rather not use the testing center.
I want to do my quizzes either in class using my braille notetaker or do them orally.
I’m wondering if you have taken them in class, and did the prof object?
I will talk it over with the prof and see what we can do. I know of some blind students who took tests in class with their assistive tech or laptops, so I hope using that will be okay. I don’t know if they’ll be concerned with cheating.
I’m wondering how typical it is for blind students to take short quizzes in class versus outside at a testing center or the dss office.
It just seems more practical to do it in class rather than set up something in the center for something that will take 10 minutes or less.
For those of you taking quizzes or tests in class, do you sit somewhere different so others cannot see your screen?

Thanks.

Ashley
