"The center is easy to use, and
the assistants are helpful," journalism
major Tess Brackett said.
But psychology major Stacey
Edmond said she is frustrated occasionally
with the assistants. "The
assistants will help, but they are
impatient," she said.
The center also offers the following
hardware and software:
A foreign language visual and
sound program that can record a
student's pronunciation and play
correct pronunciation. It also
shows voice modulation, enabling
students to improve their language
skills.
A mini-computer for geographical
statistical analysis.

who can't use their hands
can operate. Professors can give
tests to these students on the
