Hi everyone, I have been asked for help by a professor who is teaching a course in economics to a blind student at NLSIU, Bangalore. His concern is that he is struggling to teach her the 2 main pillars of economics viz. graphs and mathematical problems. Insofar as graphs are concerned, he mostly gives a textual description of the content and she is able to follow along. However, mathematical problems are a bigger concern.
He says that she is showing a lot of resistance in solving equations. While he can choose to let her get by without solving these equations, he wants to push her to find ways of solving them. I am wondering if there are people on this group who pursued economics at the undergraduate level and can comment on how this can be done. He is worried that he may come across as being discriminatory if he pushes her hard to solve these equations. He also doesn't have clarity on how best to help her.
