Mobile Phones (was - My innovative cell phone policy)

2005-10-27 Thread David L Gent
I've been following the mobile phone thread with mild interest and was delighted to read that someone simply set the policy and had no further problems. I think we may have younger students and smaller groups than some of you (being similar to a community college in the USA), but I decided

Wow! I can't believe this is such a problem; I tell my students on the first day of class no cell phones, and put it in my syllabus just as simply as that and viola, no cell phones! I have been the most guilty of forgetting to turn off the dang thing. I like Louis' idea--any old excuse for donuts
