<p>It might mean that my courses were much less rigorous than my university has a reputation for, but I and to a greater extent my classmates would frequently use our laptops for non-course related purposes in lectures and I did fine this semester. In smaller classes where the instructor made a policy about cell phone/internet use I at least respected it but in my large lectures there was rampant facebooking and texting, and while I would have learned more in one of my classes if I hadn’t spent time on facebook, I still did alright and will just use this as a lesson going forward.</p>
