[nabs-l] 10 Best Tips for Professors

[Rania]

Be willing to e-mail work sheets and other materials if the student requests 
that and if it is possible.  Come up with another way the same assignment or 
project can be done if the student is not able to get the work done the way 
the instructer wants it to be done.

> You guys had a number of excellent thoughts.  I'm trusting your guidance

> My advice, to get things started:  Do not single out the blind kid in

> No one likes to have the spotlight shined on them for being exceptionally

> Anyway, no doubt you'll have better ideas.  Send them in, on list or
