hi,1. get with the schools disabled students or tutorial center and see what they can do to assist you with this; 2. try to find the book at recording for the blind and dyslexics website; 3. see if you can pair up with a classmate for mutual aid; 4. talk to the instructor about this problem, making sure he understands exactly what the problem is; 5. acquire a scanner and badger the local vocational rehabilitation office for a copy of Openbook or Kurzweil or spend the 200 dollars on abbey fine reader, which is the heart of Kurzweil without all the fancies; 6. find out the publisher of your book, and phone or Email them with a brief but complete synopsis of your situation and ask them for a fully accessible copy of the text book (include the fact that "see figure 1" is not accessible since the reason your asking for an accessible book is you can't see! the bloody figure 1!).
these are how one handles college courses in any combination that is neededit's up to the school to make things as fair and accessible as is reasonable for you!, and you don't have to let them dictate what is reasonable, you can push until it really is fair.

Thanks. I'll try and give it a shot. It'll be hard though because my text book does not describe the figures in plain text. For example, they'll say, figure 1.13 shows what the following program psuedo code will look like. Then of course the figure is not described. So how can I work with that?
Thanks. Jes On Jun 27, 2010, at 5:06 PM, qubit wrote:

Hi, Personally, from my experiences, we the blind people sometimes need to recognize our limits. In the end, the whole point of this is to find alternative ways of accomplishing things; thus, personally, if it is just using pseudo code (writing your code using English), then go ahead...

Joseph, Thanks for the help. I'll probably just turn in psudo code, since that'swhat the book primarily uses anyway. Does it sound like I'm cutting cornersor trying to use excuses to get out of hard work, using my blindness as an excuse? Be honest! Thanks.

Just checked out Wikipedia. Actually,IPOstands for "Input Processing Output" - the list of things required to getinput for a program, process it, then output it. A psudo C++ would look like: * Input: Some kind of an input mechanism to get information from a usere.g.cin>> data, ifstream fin(test.txt); and so on. * Processing it: using whatever algorithms and data to process this information e.g. using a while loop for getting guesses for a guessinggame,using a temporary dynamic variable to copy one vector to another and soon.* Output: How the information is presented to the user e.g. cout, using ofstream object, etc. That chart... I'm not sure - unless if you can create some kind of atableroutine. A pseudo code would look like this (in hypothesis): // Get user input: // Asking user what type of input it is and what the program needs to do with that data. Input I; // The input information from the user or another location. Process p; // The container for storing processes required to perform an action. Output o; // The ouput container.// Gather input and the process, evaluate the two data types, then returnthe output result: Output gather_input(input I, process p); // After the processing is done, store the return value of thegather-inputfunction as an output: O = gather_input(I, p); // Now create a table to store these data values: // The first column would have the input, the next one would store the process, then the last column would output the actual output result. // For ease of usage, this would be written as a function as follows: Void print_ipo(); { Cout<< I<< ", "<< p<< ", "<< o<< endl;} If you want to work with multiple IPO scenarios, try creating a customIPOclass, then use a vector of IPO objects (with IPO pointers), like: Class IPO { Private: String input; // The input info. String process; // The processing part. String output; // The output result. Public: // Anything you need, such as constructors, destructors (if there needstobe a derived class) and useful accessors and mutators... };Vector<IPO> assignment(10; // Given that if we want to work with ten IPOobjects. // or IPO * ipo_ptr = new IPO[5]; // If you need to work with five IPO objects stored as a dynamic array In case of the second declaration, because they are dynamicallyallocated,you need to provide a routine to deallocate it using "delete" operator asfollows: Delete [] ipo_ptr; Well, hope this helps...

Hi all, I am taking a C plus plus course and one of my assignments in the bookistocreate an IPO chart. The file must have a .cpp extension on the end ofitand I'm wondering if it is possible to create an IPO chart using ascreenreader, like system access? Should I ask my professor to exempt me fromthisassignment? Will it be to visual for me to accomplish it? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
