Admittedly i'm no fan of lecture halls, but i must differ on the idea that professor has given him no reason to prepare. The class is doubtlessly scheduled, and most likely there is a syllabus, and there is the social convention of coming to class prepared to take notes, ask questions, covered the material, and having finished any given assignments. If classrooms were tv shows, then yes, there's no reason to prepare. Disasters aside, in a structured learning environment there is no reason why a student shouldn't show up prepared for class, prepared to think. “The professor has given him no reason to prepare.” Admittedly i’m no fan of lecture halls, but i must differ on the idea that professor has given him no reason to prepare.

Last week in my class for new graduate teaching assistants, the question of students' laptop use came up. A few folks swore they were going to start forbidding any laptops in their classes. I think I'll pass this comic along to them--might make for good discussion. Thanks for posting this.
