[NABS-L] Accommodations in biology and neuroscience courses

[Louis Maher]

Hello Nina,

I have attached the minutes from the 2018 and 2019 Science Division / NABS joint phone conferences on Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM).  These documents should give you some ideas of how to proceed.

The 2020 STEM conference call-in number will be the NABS conference line 712-770-5197, Participant Access Code: 265669.  The call will occur at 8 PM EST through 9 PM EST on Sunday, February 23, 2020.

Good luck.

Regards
Louis Maher

Subject: [NABS-L] Accommodations in biology and neuroscience courses

Good morning everyone!

                I’ve recently been thinking about concentrating my studies on not only general psychology but on cognitive neuroscience, as well. However, I’m super concerned about the biology and other science courses I will need to take. I have taken college level biology before and done well, but these classes would be of a much larger size and a very demanding nature.

                What accommodations have you used to make these courses accessible? How do you navigate biology labs and other science labs that are very visual? Have you found that you are able to keep up with the labs and course work?

                I know that many of these questions are specific to the individual, but I have very little knowledge of how people have done this in the past. Any help would be really appreciated. 😊

Thanks

nina
