Much too often, students are interrupted by other students unwilling to turn their phones off while in the labs or libraries. For most students, the labs or library are the places where they can go to get studying accomplished. So you head to the library, in the hopes of finally finishing that paper you started the day before it is due. Under stress, hot and tired, you begin to write away. It takes only minutes before you become distracted by the group of people laughing at the table next to you.
Groups walk in and begin to conduct their meetings.
Cell phones ring and people make their plans for the evening. However, this is not how a library or lab should be. It is understandable that groups need to meet at the library. We've all been there, done that. And yes, sometimes the people in your group amuse you so much, you can't help but chuckle out loud.
