[nabs-l] marketing class accomodation

[Arielle Silverman]

Ashley, Can you tell us some more detail about the game assignment?
Have you tested out the software and confirmed it's not accessible?
In my experience I've found that the vast majority of homework
assignments can be done, either with or without a reader.
You can hire a reader to help you outside of class without your
professor's permission.
Again, if you give us details, we may have other ideas.
