What's notetaker do?

hello eternity smile lol i am new first time that one wowow
 
Interesting. When I was in High School and College some time ago, my notetakers were one of these student volunteers in the same class as I was in. I didn't know that the notetakers are supposed to be the one NOT in school... like working for the school, just like an interpreter. 258~
 
I used notetakers in middle school and high school, they were students in the same class as I was in and were paid for their services by the school. One girl was my notetaker all way throughout high school for some classes, she was a cutie, too bad she was taken... BUt in college, i dont use them, i just take notes on my own and i've been doing pretty well with the notes...
 
if a note taker is not a volunteer, then yeah, expect better quality and if they dont live up to your want-to-learn standard then complain
on other hand if its on a volunteering basis then show your grace, appreciate their wilingness to help you at their own cost of time, no money, be nice and develop a good 'working relationship' in this way you would more likely to yeild notes that are good enough to actually help improve your grades
 
I remember that one of my art teachers refused to let me have a note taker in class. Her reasoning was that in the real world, I had to be like the hearing and I couldn't expect special aid for me. WTF?

When the situation was explained to the boss, it was explained that I can either pay attention to the terp OR I can take the notes. I can't do both. Her boss who is hearing and know no signs tried to make her let me have a note taker but she refused.

Other than that I've never had any problems with hearing teachers in school when it comes to accomadations.

Yeah, but you can't lipread a taperecorder.................OB, CART is Computer Aided Realtime Translation. Someone comes in with a laptop, and types down everything in class......don't have to deal with crappy handwriting or horrible notes b/c the person is professionally tranined.

I'm currently working as a notetaker for HH student with CI. That is exactly the way I do it: I use a laptop, save all notes to my jump drive, hand the jump drive to the student, and he downloads to his laptop.

I have a problem with volunteer notetakers. They are taking notes for themselves, and then sharing them, and the notes may not be what the deaf/hh student needs. A professional notetaker will meet with the student before ever going into the class and taylor the way they take the notes for that student. If a volunteer writes something down incorrectly, or misses information, it just, "Oh, well!" Too bad for the deaf/hh student. A professional is held accountable. If they make mistakes, they are responsible for letting the teacher know that it was their mistake and not the student's.
 
Almost forgot. I am notetaking at the college level. It is NOT my responsibility to inform anyone of anything about the student. I am paid to take notes, and that is all. To behave like I am the students babysitter is insulting to the student. He doesn't need someone to watch him all the time--jusst someone to take notes so he can watch the terp.
