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!-

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] prometheus25 If I am paying for credit hours, and indirectly paying for the professor's salary, I am going to do what I please in the class, so long as I am not disturbing other students. Truth is, I hate rules like this. If I am distracted, that's my own damn fault, but I don't want to lose points I otherwise earned fairly. I could ace every exam because I studied my butt off, but if I text once, I'd automatically receive an A- because the professor is sensitive. Not appropriate.[/quote] That is pretty sensible. I forgot the whole "I'm paying so I do what I want" argument (as long as ur not distracting students). If you're like hybelos, you're cool. But you can't not distract people around you once your phone or laptop is out. It's hard not to distract people.
