Please leave all distracting electronic devices — cell phones, iPods, etc. — in your car, or silence them during class. I understand our contemporary need to be in contact with everyone all the time, but do not let this personal need distract the rest of the class. Please remove all devices from your head while in class.
In addition, I do not allow class discussions to be taped, so do not bring any voice recording devices to class, though I do encourage your bringing an ink interface and dead trees on which to take notes.
You may use a laptop in class at my discretion. If I feel that you are using your computer for inappropriate activities during class, I will ask that you not bring your computer to class again. If you use a laptop in class, I also might ask you to assist in impromptu research during class discussion.
