[nabs-l] College Math Homework on the Perkins Brailler

In high school, I did all my math work on the brailler because I could
conceptualize the equations more easily. My sighted math tutor, who learned
to read braille visually, transcribed over the braille, and this is how my
teachers got my work in print. This is before I had the BrailleNote.

Subject: [nabs-l] College Math Homework on the Perkins Brailler

Hi All,


I have a question regarding math homework.

I am taking a math course (quantitative reasoning) that is held twice a
week. Homework is assigned at every session and collected at the next
session. Work must be shown, if applicable (if it's more than just punching
something really simple into the calculator.)

I use a Perkins Brailler to do my homework because I like how easily all the
numbers line up. I was wondering, for anyone who has also used one, how you
would get it into print for the teacher. My Disability Services are
extremely helpful, and I could tell one of the grad student staff the
answers for them to write out, but I was just curious if others have done it
differently. If all my professor wanted was the answers, I could do all the
problems on the Brailler and then make an electronic file with the answers
on them, but work does need to be shown.

Thanks,


Vejas
