ADA Scavenger Hunt
While walking around campus and checking out the ADA compliance of the buildings I noticed a few things that stuck out both positive and negative.
Positive-
Ramps leading into buildings
Braille on all signs inside the buildings
Drinking fountains with cut-outs in front for wheelchair access
Automatic doors at all flat or ramped entrances
Elevators in all buildings with multiple floors
Pool access for the handicapped
Motion sensors to open some doors on campus
Flat campus with easy access to classes
Desks in large lecture halls to allow for wheelchairs
Disability Services office on campus
Sidewalks that have a ramp at the corners of street intersections
Grip on the ramps of sidewalks
Negative-
Disability Services office is on the 4th floor of South Hall
Vending machines don’t have Braille
Anderson Arena seating is very tough for handicapped
Fraternity and Sorority houses in the Conklin units and Sorority row have no wheelchair access
Eppler has uneven floor levels making the center entrance the only access point for wheelchairs
Small number of ground level dorm rooms
Ramps are not always completely cleared of snow and ice
Lines for food can often be too tight for wheelchairs to move through
Bookstore with 2 levels makes one in a wheelchair have to split it into 2 different stops as there is no ramp or elevator within the store
Building layouts are not always straight forward and have centralized elevators which can make getting around in a wheel chair a difficult task
Our campus is very good about complying with ADA Standards however there is still more to do. Nothing will ever be perfect when rules and regulations are constantly changing but there are many different things that can be changed and should be changed. Having a Disability Services office in one of the older buildings on the 4th floor hardly seems appropriate. There has got to be room in another building with easier access. The fact that the land is relatively flat helps a lot. Some universities are built in such a manner that you have to climb up and down stairs all day in order to get around campus. There is a reason Western Kentucky University is known as the Hilltoppers. Their campus is built on a large hill that is not too friendly for those who are in a wheelchair. Also think about the famous scene from Rocky in which he runs up the giant set of stairs. I didn’t see a ramp there. Bowling Green is lucky to benefit from the flat surface of the campus. Now the university needs to focus in other ways to better help comply with ADA Standards.

At present women are playing an important role everywhere. They are no longer confined to their traditional role. They have come out of kitchens and are working with men for the development of the country. Many women having higher education are working as doctors, engineers, judges or teachers. They have already proved their abilities. However they still face gender discrimination that has some negative effects. All should help them to bring out hidden talent.

Since a writers main purpose is to explain things clearly , description is an important aid. To add liveliness to an essay , descriptive details are necessary to create a clear, unified impression of an object or a scene . as a technique in writing , description matches the kinds of details we see in vivid and effective photographs . Good descriptive writers helps the reader ‘see’ objects , scene and even moods by means of language.

Hp muadil toner kartuşu, orijinal ürün yerine farklı bir firma tarafından üretilmiş, aynı vazifeyi yapabilmesi için tasarlanmış fiyatı orjinal tonerlere göre daha ucuz eşdeğer kartuşlara verilen isimdir.
Yan sanayi toner adıyla da bilinen bu ürünler genellikle çin malı ithal yazıcı toneri kartuşlarıdır.
Orijinal yazıcı kartuşu muadili ürünlerde kalite ve fiyat standardı bulunmaz, markasız olarak ithal edilen edilen ürünler satıcı firmaların koydukları kutuların üzerinde yer alan isimlerde markalaşmış olsa dahi markaların tescili olmadığı gibi, kutu üzerinde ithalatçı firmaya ait bilgi yer almaz.
Muadili oldukları markayla ilişkisi olmayan yan sanayi veya eşdeğer kartuşlar, üreticilerine ödenen para ile doğru orantılı kaliteye sahiptirler.
Bu nedenle ucuz fiyat ile satılan ürünlerde kalite çizgisi kalitesiz toner dolumu yapan toner dolum merkezlerinin ürettikleri kartuşlardan dahi kalitesiz kartuşlara rastlanması doğaldır.

This is the kind of mentality that really impresses me. It is always imperative to look at the bigger picture while building public institutions such as schools, colleges and universities. The administrators should ensure that such institution’s facilities are accessible by even those with disabilities.

Institutions are always afraid of inspection because they are afraid of being fined or closed down. The truth is that inspections help to point out the strengths and weakness that exist in various parts of the institution and this has been clearly discussed by the author who was part of the ADA scavenger Hunt. The article has been written using a unique writing style.

I have read this post and left wondering on whether most of the campuses’ administrations are adhering to the ADA standards. The points given in this post show that some of the campuses can be discredited in their services as per the ADA standards. The institutions should consider the ADA standards so that the disabled live well at the campus. It will be valuable for scholars to know that experts can Be Paid to Revise a Personal Experience Essay about campus life.

I congratulate the students for their dedication to walk around the school and determine whether the buildings comply with the ADA scavenger hunt regulations. The findings of the study will help the administration team to improve areas where they are not performing well and improve those areas.
