The majority of a Learning Assistant’s shift is typically spent reading class notes and a student’s textbook aloud, though some students who are approved for a Learning Assistant choose to engage in reading independently, and only require occasional assistance with descriptions of images, graphs, math formulas, etc. Learning Assistants are typically asked to provide a fair amount of repetition, and they may be asked to return to previous notes, chapters, etc. in order to make requested connections to previously covered content. In some instances, Learning Assistants may also provide scribing support for homework if they are not a student registered with the any section of the same class for which they are approved as a Learning Assistant.

Training for this position is provided by the United States Blind Golf Association, and takes roughly 15-45 minutes.

The format of notes may vary depending on student need, and can include typed notes, handwritten notes, or a hybrid, such as utilizing a stylus with a tablet; the format in each instance is determined by specific student need. In instances where specialized note taking is required, the note taker is provided with both training and tools (such as an iPad) for the semester. It is common for the first few weeks to involve feedback from all parties involved, which often results in some modifications on the part of the note taker as it relates to the student’s note taking needs. ($12.25)

All students hired for this position receive training regarding these job duties. ($12.25)
