[NABS-L] taking Greek as a blind seminary student?

[Mike Gilmore]

Hi everyone,

I'm attending Dallas Theological Seminary and am planning on taking Greek next fall. I've perused a Greek textbook on Book share to see if JAWS can read the Greek. It reads the Greek letters regardless of whether the alphabet is sitting there or there are Greek words.

I was wondering if anyone out there has taken Greek in seminary and what you did. Were you able to get the textbook put into braille? If so, from where/whom? Same questions about a braille Greek New Testament.

I'm a distance student so that means I'll be taking the course online either in a live format or totally online format with videos. I'm mainly concerned with taking exams and what accommodations to ask for. Should I ask to be able to take the exam orally? Or have someone from the seminary proctor the exam and I tell them what to write over the phone?
As far as homework exercises, how did you write the Greek? Type it out in Microsfot Word? If so, how and did JAWS cooperate?

I think that's all for now. Thank you for any help/tips/advice you can give me.

Mike
