http://aphilosopher.wordpress.com/2010/04/27/texting/ Anecdotal comments on texting and grades. The comments on allowing students to "self-fail" are amusing.
And from the Chronicle of Higher Education: http://chronicle.com/forums/index.php?ChronicleUser=mim8rq1gicf13vjuuvuft79t46&topic=74090.0 (fellow students, you might want to take a look at how your professors feel about your texting habits).
Interesting. I like the self fail method. I dont care if its a norm or what not as is claimed by many...that does not make it right. I am not as frustrated by texting in class as talking in class. People can text away and it doesn't necessarily bother me as a student, but when they start talking and it impacts my learning I am not happy... I have been known to give people "the look"
Maybe respect for others needs to be a little more heavily focused on throughout school.
