[nabs-l] writing and working out math and Chemistry problems

So, basically, you all take notes on an electronic device and do your actual homework and tests and quizzes on the brailler. I use a Focus 40, a bluetooth keyboard, and an iPad when I take notes. I've been trying to work out problems in math and Chemistry on these devices. It has gotten harder lately to do these problems. I've been making up a code so that my teachers can read what I'm doing. That's not best practice, which I know, but I've done that for a while now. I'm thinking about switching to the brailler. Any thoughts on this? Am I doing it fine?

I know that it's better on the brailler but it is noisy so it can be difficult for me or the others to hear the teacher. I would also wonder what I should do, because my TVI isn't so good at Braille. I'd have to tell her what the paper says. Any suggestions on completing math and chemistry assignments and doing the work the teacher's showing on the board as well? Thanks!
