Inspired by the remark the teacher made today and the following link: http://news.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/0,39029678,39194697,00.htm
Although it is sometimes very tempting to speak to your neighbour during lectures (gossip, dayactivities, remark about something that happened during the lecture), it musn't be forgotten that you are not the only one in the classroom. It can be very annoying if people keep talking and talking, without shutting up and it's even worse when they're giggling or laughing. Everyone probably does it, but it is quite disrespectful towards the teacher and very disturbing to all people present in the classroom. If you have news to tell and you are afraid to forget about it -because why else can't you wait 'till after the lecture-, just write a note to remind yourself. If sometimes comes to mind that has to be told instantly, whisper instead of shout.
The same goes for mobile phones. How lonely do you feel if you have to check your mobile every 5 minutes, send multiple messages during class and worst of all: don't turn of the sound.
Many students will probably see this as nagging, but during some lectures it is difficult enough to follow the teacher without being distracted by other students. You'll find out when there is something you find interesting yourself and people keep yapping all over it. So maybe you could try to think of others for a change.
