NOTE TAKERS / READERS
Notes are crucial to the success of a student in college, but present
problems for students with disabilities.
The note taker (usually an MDC student) is a paid employee of the
college. They are assigned to take notes, “as if they were taking
the course themselves.” Every effort is made to hire note takers who
have already taken the courses for which they are taking notes.
You can expect the note taker to: be on time, take complete and legible
notes, meet with you after class if s/he misses any information or
needs clarification, give you a copy of the notes (if you request
them). The note taker is not a member of the class and therefore will
not participate in class activities nor will s/he socialize with other
students. The note taker is only authorized to copy and distribute
their notes to the instructor or to another disabled student (should
there happen to be more than one disabled student in your class).
Should the student not attend class without prior notification, the
note takers have been instructed to wait 15 minutes, then they are
free to leave. As a model of the “real world” — no note taking will
be done until the student arrives.
If you have further questions regarding note-taking, please feel free
