Copyright Policies

Technology in the Classroom Policy

Cell phone use in class, unless the phone is being used explicitly for research or learning purposes permitted by the instructor, distracts from the learning of the student using the cell phone, the other students and inhibits the instructor’s teaching. Therefore, cell phone use in class is prohibited unless the instructor asks that students use their cell phones for a specific exercise.


Students may use computers or tablets in class to take notes. Students who are using computers or tablets for other purposes will be asked to close them.
