Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
I thought I'd bring this topic back up from the depths of the forum...Mitch, how's college going? I think I saw on another thread that you're in your first semester, and I'm interested to hear how it's going for you so far.

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
I personally have a notetaker for the higher-level math courses. Calculus is a much different tiger than algebra, and writing in LaTeX or Braille during what can be a fast-paced lecture isn’t efficient for me. The notetaker is actually the TA I had

@33, I have heard of OpenStax and have used them in the past. I haven't heard of con academy though.

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Speaking of asking other non-disability services related people, but how much does having someone else take your notes help? I have been able to quickly and efficiently take notes during high school, but I know that college is a different beast
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Post 28, have you taken a look at the OpenStax books? These have MathML in them, and if you download MathPlayer, you should be able to get NVDA to read them quite nicely. They might not be exactly aligned with your curriculum, but you can use simple
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Ah, gotcha. It usually takes some finagling and finding the right places (organizations or even other universities) to get these kinds of things to work.

@30, I know, I am in the states. Even with assistance it may be hard. But I can probably do it -- I have my TVI on call, if you will; she's probably go some ideas of her own.

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
@28, if you're in the states, your disabilities department should be and are [legally] responsible for and obligated to obtaining books. That's a reasonable accommodation. I don't know how it works elsewhere in the world.Glad to see others showing
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Hey guys. I just want to let you know that I would be happy to help all of you who need it. I was successful in my college classes, and have done plenty of work around making Math accessible for us. One of the many projects was to work
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
I've got a college algebra class to take -- because, apparently, the last two years of Algebra I've taken doesn't count as 'college algebra'. Weird. So I'll probably use Lambda for the assignments and see if the books can be gotten in MathML format
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Ditto to everything said above.You're also in a really great position because you're an incoming freshman. I was a sophomore transferring into a new university going into my junior year while switching from music to computer science, and boy, let me
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Sorry for the double-post, but is Eclipse more accessible on Windows? I've had a lot of difficulty on Mac, but that may be because I don't know as much about the IDE itself.

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Thank you all for the help. I'm a Braille reader, but I'm going to get most of my stuff in properly formatted digital formats, because I think that technology has gotten to a point where if I use a Braille display, things like this should work. Math
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
To bring this topic back up to the top...I'd strongly advise you learn LaTeX. Lots of CS students use it, and so do professors. You're going to have to take up to at least Calc2, and knowing LaTeX will almost be a must. You can render a LaTeX file
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

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Agreed with post 20.A lot of the problems you face will be specific to your university, so it's crucial you stay consistently cognizant of this fact.The other side to this is reach out to forums, mailing lists, and special groups to inquire about
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
if they want you to use IntelliJ, I recommend that you use Eclipse. it is a only fully accessible IDE for Java and as a beginner using an IDE is easier than the command line, especially for Java.The thing you need to learn as quickly as possible
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Truthfully, the scale for CS instructors is typical for college as it is in any other field: great, good, okay, meh, terrible. I've generally gotten amazing professors, but there are pretty bad ones at my university, as will there be at many other

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
@17, the answers to your questions vary widely and depend on what college your going to. I'd say that my experiences indicate that yes, teachers at college allow exceptions to the rule, if you will, and will be happy to try alternatives and other
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
So I am considering majoring in CS. Trouble is, there are a lot of options when it comes to that sort of thing. Could you all give me an idea as to what sort of assignments are you doing?The problem I found in school is that the teachers are focused

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
@12-14, thanks. That's something I really should work on, as I tend to not self-educate much. I do agree that it will help in the long run, though.

Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Ditto to post 11. Get ready for calculus and more abstract-based concepts. Programming and computer science are not one in the same. Programming is just a single facet. There are some computer scientists who do not actively code, yet they still know
Re: Becoming a CS Major: Some Questions
Hey. I just want to chime in and say that Computer Science is much more than programming. There is a little bit of everything from math, to electrical engineering, to even some minor philosophy concepts. Multithreading and performance optimizations
