Course Syllabus
As research on learning shows, unexpected noises and movement automatically divert and capture people's attention, which means you are affecting everyone's learning experience if your cell phone, pager, laptop, conversation etc. makes noise or is visually distracting during class. For this reason, I strongly urge you to turn off your mobile devices, turn off sound on your laptop or pads, and refrain from reading newspapers and conducting conversations during class.
