Meredith, a student with a hearing impairment, is enrolled in a Math course. She is having trouble understanding what is going on because the instructor keeps turning her head when writing on the board. Meredith is also missing information during the question-and-answer time. One day during class the professor, while turning to the board, asks Meredith to describe how she got her answer. Meredith is not aware the professor has called on her until the student next to her nudges her. Meredith decides to approach the instructor after class. She asks her professor to please face the class when lecturing so that she can lip read and understand what the professor is saying.The professor wants to know why Meredith cannot get an interpreter for class. Meredith informs the instructor that she cannot understand sign language but that she can follow the lecture if the instructor faces the class while talking and repeats the questions students ask.
