I think they will probably still keep to the back and sleep at their desks. That reminds me of a collegue of mine, she didn't sleep in class she just didn't bother going. While doing her Ph.D. she wanted to get an LLB (BA in law) I don't know why (she never intended to sit the bar). Anyway, she borrowed a tape recorder from me and never showed up to class--she went there at the start, put on the tape and picked it up at the end. (I don't think she was the only one either). Of course, if too many do it, then the prof is as likely to tape his lecture, come in at the beginning put on his tape (so that the tape machines on all the other desks can record it) and they all pick them up at the end! --Mike
