Description of good practice:
For those students who experience difficulty in taking notes or those who cannot take notes during the courses because of their disabilities, note-taker service is provided by means of student assistantship. Students either can find their own note taker (e.g. a friend who is taking the same class or have took it before) or DSO will make announcements in order to provide a note-taker student assistant. Responsibilities of the student assistant are:

Attending lectures regularly and taking notes.
Copying notes for the student that they will assist.
Conveying notes to the student at the agreed date, hour, place and format (hand writing, hard copy or electronic copy).
Respecting the privacy of student that they will assist and not sharing information regarding their identity and disability condition of the student.
Informing the student and Disability Support Office urgently, in the case of missing a lecture due to health or personal problems.
