I have a very, very old perkins brailler; in fact it was the first one I had ever received. It is currently at my parents' house collecting dust, (cover included), and i'm afraid to use it because of all the wear and tear on it. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting through a college-level math course? More specifically, how do you work out your math problems if you're using a scribe for tests? Trust me, I'm going to need all the help I can get.
Hello, here are my suggestions! Get a talking calculator! Use your braille writer to work out the math on your own time and then with you r scribe dictate your solution from your braille notes. Good luck!
I have been wondering about Math as well. I'm going to be going back to school in January or maybe April, and will need all the help I can get. I've never been good at Math at all. How do you get help with it in classes, when no one but you knows how to write Braille? I've been thinking of seeing if my state will buy me a Braille Sense. That way, I can at least take notes in Math, without having to write them all out on my Brailler. Having electronic notes would be aGod send.
Thanks,
Natalia
My advice see if you can get an independent study for math so it is just you and the professor. I have several different factors that allowed my request to be approved, but perhaps other schools would allow this. I don't know how blind people do it in a normal college math class. I need my math in braille, and I want hardcopy, sometimes a braille display doesn't cut it. Like graphs and charts.
WinTriangle! It enables you to workout the problems using a computer, while enabling your scribe to look at your work.
Well, that's for advanced math courses anyway.
Anyone have more good suggestions? Anyone? Anyone?
I'm going to use a recorder and a tutor that I will pay to help me. That will be the best way I can pass my 2 math classes. Thank goodness I don't have more than two. lol
