[nabs-l] Study Methods and Tools

[Jameyanne Fuller]

Amy,
I'll be a 1L at Harvard Law School this fall. I'm really excited about it.
Thanks for your advice on notetaking with the socratic method.

Hello Ashley,

I currently use my computer but my input method is my Varioultra braille
display.  I am ADD, so listening to the computer in the class isn't the best
for me. It is easier for me to get down what is needed if I don't have
speech on.  Since I am in law school, I read and brief cases from the
assigned material before I go to class.  I am not an experienced jaws user,
so I do not go back-and-forth from my notes my briefs and the textbook
during lectures. It takes too long for me to get to the information I need
in the other documents for it to be beneficial. I like to just take down
what is discussed about the cases elements analysis and such so that I can
go back and compare what I have later on.  I am finally getting training,
but the computer I received is having issues with JAWS and Word together and
also Word independently.  

I hope this gives you enough information.

idea. I did not get a lot of this training or information growing up. I have
kinda been winging it. I was one of the first people in my area to be a part
of the inclusion program so I only went to a school for the blind for three
years. I think that a school for the blind might have been better at
teaching me the skills and also I might have remained a braille reader
throughout school. A year after I went to public school, I was transferred
from braille to large print. I know many braille readers who have been
lifelong braille readers who are very fast at reading  and writing braille.
I use a braille display so I can keep up on what braille I know in hopes
that I will become faster.
