I'm taking French this coming year and I was wondering if any other braille readers have. Is it hard doing French in braille, or should I try to get my stuff through e-mail or something. I have a braille french book, but are there any um, special french signs I should know about?
Algebra II. I'm not that great at math but I have to take it. I heard they don't make accessible graphing calculators. How does one go about passing this class? lol.
And finally, I'm taking general psychology as a cybar class this year too. Has anyone taken a cybar class and if so, what's it like? Do the teachers do a good job?
Well there is an algebra program out. Not sure if it could help you. It is called VP Algebra, or virtual pencil algebra. It is made for the visual impaired. It has JAWS scripts, good to use for both students and teachers. Not sure how far into algebra it can take you. Have only played with the basic problems in it. The graphing part is a mystery to me though.
For any other math people who can use help:
There is a VP arithmetic. After one learns the key strokes in the program and scripts. Both programs are very helpful. They can also be used with braille displays if I am not mistaken.
As for the cyber class, I have done a few online college classes. As long as you have good communication with the instructor it sure be alright. I had one professor, in networking class, that couldn't help me much with a few things. That made it harder for me. But I had other professors that really went out of their way to help me.
