Subject: [NFB-Science] A Student Struggling in Math Class

Hello All,

I am currently taking a college algebra class, and we are currently learning 
about functions of logarithms. I am feeling rather confused in trying to 
learn these concepts regarding functions of logarithms.

Most of the materials for my class are not accessible, and I need to use a 
reader whenever I am working on any of my homework for my math class. 
However, since the disabilities office is rather short staffed right now, 
and do not really have any readers qualified to read my math materials to me 
correctly, I have often used the tutoring office to serve more as a reader 
rather than a tutor.

However, now that I am struggling to learn and understand the material, I am 
having a difficult time receiving services from the tutoring office so that 
I can learn and understand the material for my math class. The last time I 
was able to talk to my professor during his office hours, I was told that I 
should not be too concerned about understanding the material because I was 
able to understand how to change functions of logarithms into exponential 
form which he considered to be the most important thing about logarithms. 
But now he seems rather concerned about me because I keep looking dazed and 
confused in class.

The office hours for my professor do not exactly fit well into my schedule, 
and I have a paper I have not started yet for another class that is due on 
Wednesday that I have not been able to start because I have been drawn into 
a whole lot of unnecessary drama with my state student division. So I am 
just wondering if there are any other places online where I can find math 
materials in an accessible and user friendly format that could help me learn 
and understand the concepts of functions of logarithms. I greatly appreciate 
any and all suggestions as to how I might be able to learn and understand 
this material for my next math exam scheduled for after Thanksgiving.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
