  3. If it was at the SMF 205 night class, that was me :)

    It's human sexuality; what notes do you really need to take? All the better if the profs are enthusiastic lecturers. Then you can text and/or listen.

    I tend to either listen to the profs if they're saying something relevant, or tune them out if it's boring, repetitive or relatively unimportant.

  4. i don't care if they waste time in lectures, as long as they don't distract others.

  5. It's not a problem unless it's so crowded people have to sit on the stairs. Go home and play your stupid games so others can sit at a desk and actually take notes.

  6. op here, the class was biol 373 (7-10 mondays). Personally i'm fine if they don't cause any distractions, but those kids were chatting and laughing while playing some iphone app. I mean what is the bloody point of showing up without any lecture notes, then socializing with their friends for the whole class? I thought people'd know better because it's a 3rd yr course but apparently not.

  7. Yeah that's pretty bad; I thought that only happened in 1st or 2nd year 3 hour arts lectures.

    I'd expect better from science
