texting in class

I have never done it, and find it to be pretty rude to the professor, those around you, and yourself since you're paying and not paying attention. I'm capable of going an hour without being in contact with people.

My classes are WAY too small (like 15 students or less) for anyone to text without it being completely obvious. So I don't. It's also grad school, so you should be expected to be able to go 2.5 hours without texting.

We get a 10 minute break at the halfway point of every class, so if you REALLY need to text someone, you're allowed to do so then.

In my large lecture hall classes in undergrad, texting in class was the norm because there's one instructor and 400ish students. The tests were usually pretty heavily proctored though, like at least 10 TAs that were all over the room, so it was pretty hard to cheat.
