things... Concerning large classes, it would not be unreasonable for you to work
with a teaching assistant for some of this checking of students’ visual work
Even a student in the final year of theory might be able to do this kind of
assistantship for a final course credit as a creative arrangement.</DIV>

use of residual vision, I think this has to be something that each person judges
for herself. If you can write notes onto an enlarged staff legibly, then I say
do it. There is no reason to refuse to use your vision solely to prove that you
can function in the classroom as a blind person. On the other hand, if your
writing truly is illegible, then don’t do it. Use a student volunteer, and if
you can read their writing, use this as part of your teaching. Instruct the
student in putting up your examples precisely so that others can copy,
etc.<BR><BR>Sarah J. Blake LaRose, M.Div.<BR>Personal email:
