<p>Being a note taker for a DSP student (or more than one, depending on the size of the class) is such a great and important thing to do if you’re capable of taking good notes. It also helps you, because you are essentially forced to go to class (since it’s a job!) and concentrate.</p>
<p>While handwritten notes are good, especially if your handwriting is good, some students prefer (or require) that you type them and email them to them, because it makes it easier for them to read (or be translated to audio by computer with their assistive technology for those students with vision problems or dyslexia). It helps you too, because when you transcribe your own notes, you are reinforcing what you were learning.</p>
<p>Usually in the first week of your class the teacher will give a shout out that a note taker is needed and how to apply. Or you can go to – I think it’s room 260 Cesar Chavez Center to the left of the Golden Bear Cafe.</p>
