[NABS-L] Paper Tests

[Nicolas Spohn]

If any of my classes have the exam given in a hardcopy piece of paper, I just get that exam in an accessible word document and I type in my answers. If the exam is on canvas, the learning management system we use at Pennstate, it’s usually accessible except for any graphics that would need to be made tactually or be described in the exam. For an exam where I have to write a essay, I just write it myself in word. I use jaws but sometimes NVDA. Hope this helps.
