Some epic college class rule
So today is my second day of second semester as a sophomore in college. One of my classes that I am taking is economic geography, an intro course. This is more of an elective than anything else and was a last minute selection.
Anyway, the first day for this class was today and we were given an intro, syllabus crap, and all that jazz.
Cutting to the chase . . .
participation is 10% of our grade. If you are caught texting/using your phone in class even once, you automatically lose 10% of your final grade. This means that the highest grade you can receive from that point on is a 90%.
rofl. I think this is awesome, cuz I also hate it when I see people texting in class. In my mind i'm screaming "why the -blam!- are you here if ur not paying attention?! GTFO!"
This goes for people on their laptops and using facebook and -blam!-

Anecdotal story: I had a professor who banned laptops in class. This was actually kind of a big deal, since it was an engineering class. Why he refused to allow their use in class was unknown, but he was very sensitive and was known to get upset when people wouldn't even look at him. Dunno. Anywho, one of my good friends and long time "don't give a damn" guy thought of a good way to push his patience. In the middle of class one day he opened his back pack, pulled out a toaster and proceeded to make toasted pop tarts. The class was silent as the teacher watched him with what can only be described as confusion and frustration. The toaster popped, he carefully pulled the pop tarts out (with the mandatory "Ow, hot, hot, hot") and put the toaster away. It. Was. Exceptional.
