The computers in any computer equipped classroom are there to enhance your learning environment. They are arranged they way they are for maximum flexibility in a limited amount of space. However, when a student uses a computer inappropriately, they can detract not only from his or her own learning but from that of everybody else in the room
- Refrain from using a computer except during times designated by your instructor. (If you have accommodations that encourage taking notes on a computer, make sure your instructor knows.)
- Even during the designated usage times, you should only be using a computer for course-related activities ... even if you've finished the work. No e-mail, no web-cruising, no games!
- When you are in a room with laptops, there should be no food or drink out in the room when the computers are out! When you are in a room with computers that are fixed in place, unfortunately, there should never be any food or drink.
