LAP TOP, CELL PHONE, AND SMART WATCH USE IN THIS CLASSROOM

 

                                    It is extremely unfortunate to have to adopt this  policy, but due to past abuses such as web surfing, instant messaging, chat room chatting, DVD viewing, music playing, game playing, etc., use of laptops during class is no longer permitted.  Also, the necessity of classroom interaction in this course negates the usefulness of laptops as a note-taking device. The use of your laptop during class can also prove distracting to your classmates, so please refrain from using your laptop during class.
