For that reason it is important to have an environment that is conducive to learning and free from unnecessary distractions. Therefore the use of cell phones, pagers, watches that are set to chime at certain times, boom boxes, walkmans, or any other devices that produce noise that will create a distraction in the classroom is specifically prohibited from use in the classroom. If you carry any of these devices into the classroom, please make sure that they are turned off or set so that they alert you silently. Anyone can make a mistake, so the first time a person violates the rule, it is on me. Your consideration for your classmates will be appreciated.
