Note Taking Requests
Many students require note taking assistance for a variety of disabling conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, an auditory or written language-based learning disability, blindness, or a visual impairment, or the need to watch the interpreter, if a student is deaf.
Procedure:- Register for classes.
- Request note-taking services and complete a Request for Note Taking form with the DRS Director or Program Advisor.
- Meet with the DRS Director or Program Advisor to:
- clarify in-class note-taking procedures
- pick up a note-taking packet for each class, which includes information for the faculty/instructor and one for the in-class note taker
- request backup procedures to cover note taker absence or if no one in the class volunteers (e.g., a tape recorder)
- request ongoing support as needed.
- Meet faculty prior to first class to discuss the need for note-taking accommodations, explain note-taking procedures, and provide faculty with the note-taking information.
- Ask the instructor for assistance in selection of the most qualified note taker from the students who volunteer. If possible, select a primary and back-up note taker.
- If no one volunteers to take notes on the first or second day of class, notify DRS immediately.
- Give the primary note taker the Note Taker information and ask him/her to read through it and follow all the directions to ensure they get paid.
- Provide note-taking guidelines to note taker volunteers upon request.
- Attend all classes.
NOTE: A note taker is not a substitute for class attendance. Notes for classes missed are not the responsibility of your note taker. Unavoidable absences should be discussed with the Director or Program Advisor of the DRS office. |
