[nabs-l] Math in College: Symbols and Readers

[Marsha Drenth]

I never just use readers. My school has been wonderful in brailling my
college math textbooks. Yes I will use readers for tests, but not to just
use to learn the material. I will use the same reader for tests, to scribe
for the test. And I will work with the professor or someone else to describe
the math symbols. For the charts, graphis, it is really best to have a
Braille version. As far as homeowork, find a reader/scribe that will help
write down your problems in print. 

As far as the professor is hard to understand, ask questions, ask questions.
Ask for help outside of class, and get a tutor if need be. 

Math is a hard subject, its hard being a blind student taking math, but by
no means is it impossible. Its going to take lots of hard work.

Hey everyone,
I've just started my first semester in college and I'm wondering about 
what advice you can give for math classes. Do most of you just use 
readers, and if so, what for? Second, how do write the symbols for the 
class like the Union symbol and Epsalon, and all that stuff? How do you 
draw graphs or do you describe them? What do you do when assignments or 
quizes have to be submitted electronically? How do you turn in your 
answers for tests and quizes and make them look presentable with the 
symbols drawn correctly and things like that? Have any of you had 
professors who you can barely understand and how do you deal with this? 
Do you have any other advice?
Thanks for the help,
Jordyn
