Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
I definitely agree that planning ahead is key to keeping pace and not falling behind. If you are starting this fall, definitely contact your head of year to put you in touch with your professors so you can email back and forth about possible accessibility issues and how you will work around them.
For some assignments if they are only worth like 5-10% of the course marks and making it accessible is stupidly hard, then just ask for it to be voided.
The one thing i really wish I knew about when coming to Uni, which I learned pretty late is that other than braille, MathML is the most readable math format for blind people.
I did probably 50% - 90% of my studying for courses by reading the lecture slides. If possible if you know your courses in advance, ask your professors if you can check out previous year's slides. Do a quick check for accessibility and if they can be improved work with your professor to make it happen. Note that some professors will be very happy to make more things accessible, some will won't, but if your school is worth its salt they should still be obligated to make things accessible for you. Just don't be a dick about it when you ask for accessibility and make sure it is a reasonable adjustment. Then they have to help you.
