[nabs] study tips

[Dornetta]

Laura, I also don't have to much studying but I just love power points (as 
long as I don't have to make a presentation). I actually just send the 
slides to MS word in outline form and save to computer & then use JAWS to 
read back. This way I can insert my notes where I see fit after listening to 
the taped lecture. My instructors usually send me the ppts ahead of time and 
this way I read them at home or just type in notes as they are teaching.
