[nabs-l] Study Methods and Tools

[Justin Williams]

During my first stint in college, I used a notetaker, you guys remember the
Braille N speak don't you?  I could type really fast and listen to the
teacher at the same time. 
My most recent foray into college found me without the notetaker, so I used
my laptop, a great memory, and a strong knowledge base.  My recent master's
degree was in rehabilitation counseling, and sense I'd been working in the
field, I already possessed a great deal of information.  
The other method was getting the professor to send me the PowerPoint, or
downloading it from blackboard.  
That, combined combined with reading the book was really effective.  I found
that reading the chapter helped my class participation, and had it so that I
didn't need a lot of notetaking, especially if the exam was open note,
because I already know where to find the information. 
I do find that braille is amazing when I use it however.

Hello everybody.

I am curious what methods you find most efficient and effective when
studying. Do you use brailed flashcards or a flash card app on an iPhone or
iPad? Aside from having a person quiz you, what do you find beneficial?

I have been out of the university setting for 13 years and a lot has
changed. I have not had a lot of exposure to different techniques and
tactics for blind people. I would really like to hear what you all have used
however conventional or unconventional.
