[Nfb-science] Nfb-science Digest, Vol 74, Issue 2

[bzjss at yahoo.com]

Hello everybody, I know it's a bit late for this topic but I am running into the same situation. The way I'm handling this problem is that I got with a classmate and logged in to his account on my laptop, then I proceeded to answer one of the questions to see how accessible it might be what jobs. I am not using mastering physics.com, I'm using a similar website called Web assign. I am also calling the website IT phone number and asking for a temporary permission to access the website to see if the screen reader works well with the website, if not then the professor said that we will find other means of doing homework. Hope this helps anybody.

I have to say that so far, this product does not seem to meet with the old adage of you get what you pay for since it is proving more impressive than I would think "free" should warrant:).
