[nabs-l] Seeking thoughts regarding Venn Diagrams

[Rylie Robinson]

Hi Bryan,

I took a logic class last Fall, and we also used these diagrams quite
extensively. My teacher was very willing to work with me one on one,
and he helped to draw out, with glue, tactile versions of the diagrams
so that I could visualize them. I did ok on the really simple ones,
without a tactile visualization, but once we got in to ones with three
overlapping circles, that's when I actually needed to look at it. See
if you can find any way to tactilly represent these: you could use a
Braille compass to draw the circles, wicky-sticks, glue, or any other
means of making tactile circles that can be felt. Hopefully your
teacher will be as accomidating as mine was; that's what really helped
me to get through that part of the class.

Hope this helps somewhat, and good luck in your logic class!

Blessings,
Rylie
