Deaf and hard of eharing students’ perspectives on undergraduate mathematics experience
Page: 1029
Deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students face many challenges in the study of undergraduate mathematics. Unfortunately, minimal literature exists in this area, evidencing the need for further research. Through five qualitative survey responses from D/HH students, we identified common themes of concern in addition to a number of specific struggles (and a few successes) encountered by each of the respondents in their own undergraduate mathematics courses. From these students’ experience, we can identify further areas of research with the goal of developing new educational tools for mathematics instructors with deaf or hard of hearing students. In doing so, we can help give equal opportunity to mathematics students regardless of their level of hearing.
