Wait..., what? Is that even allowed??
When I returned to the university last year as a professor, I had some pre-conceived notions on how kids today studied and learned...and boy was I right! As it was when I was in college a decade ago (gulp!), there are a lot of things going on in these young adults' lives that could make it hard to concentrate in class. A genuinely 'difficult' subject, a terribly boring method of instruction, a teacher you just don't like, crazed series of sleepless nights, an unstoppable chit-chatter of a seatmate, matters of the heart and the list could go on and on. Compound that now with ALWAYS ON technology that we didn't have back then - truly smart smart phones and tablets. Nimble fingers now tip-tapping under their desks to uhm, "multi-task" while being in class.
