It is the student's responsibility to request the paper and deliver it to the notetaker in each class. Under the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare regulations for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, taping of class lectures must be permitted if that is the request of a student with a physical or learning disability. An instructor who is planning to publish his or her lectures may fear that the tapes will somehow interfere with these plans. It is appropriate for the instructor to ask the student to sign an agreement not to release the recording or otherwise obstruct the copyright. Students need to sit close to the speaker to ensure clear tapes.
Lighting is very important.
The student should discuss this with the instructor. Other students may have difficulty. Top When using the chalkboard, overhead projector or any other visual medium, use precise and full descriptions of all materials presented. A helpful addition would be to provide copies of the overhead material presented in class. By spelling out new or technical vocabulary you will be helping the partially-sighted student as well as your other students.
