Policy on laptops and cell phones in the classroom
If you use your laptop while I'm lecturing, I'll assume you are
using it to take notes or to try the computations that we are discussing.
Please do not use it for web surfing, e-mail, entertainment,
or other irrelevant purposes.
This is discourteous and
can cause considerable embarrassment to you as well as to me.
If the computer obviously captures your attention,
I'm likely to step over to your desk to see what you're having trouble with
and if it's not course-related, we'll both be disappointed.
Do not answer your cell phone in the classroom.
During tests or exams, do not even look at your cell phone (which might be displaying
text messages); keep it hidden away
and turned off.
