Soo i really want to tell my professor off, do you guys think i should?

at my uni they dont mind it. but the classes are huge, i dont know how he would track the exact person.

sounds really immature.

is it really so much to ask to put your cell phones on vibrate? really? cant you think of the professor whos trying to concentrate and teach a huge college class? :?

do it if you want to embarass yourself.

yea, prolly not the best idea. One call from your school to any you might be transfering too, and, well, you are F'dChogyam

they wouldn't know, i won't tell them. i'll just get my transcript and peace.

well its an immature rule......were all like ages 25 plus and hes saying he'll kick us out and like maybe confiscate our phone or something

lol, pretty sure it does not work that way

It's a respect thing. Would you let your phone ring if you had a job and were in a meeting? It would be very immature of you to make a scene like that over something so stupid. Put your phone on silent if you are so worried. You can walk out of class and take the call. He just doesn't want it to ring so it doesn't disrupt the class. The_Mac_Daddy

yeah but when he talks about threatening to confiscate our phone if it rings thats pushing it. its not grammar school its not high school

Its called " Vibrate " or " silent ". Education is more important then your social life anyways.

So what, youll get it after class anyways, you should be focusing on the lecture and not your stupid phone.

then whatever i want my 12,000 dollars back from this money hungry private school

It's my college writing class. So today he came up with this new rule that if your cell phone rings in class he kicks you out and marks you absent for the day. I was pretty upset when i heard this....everone in the class is over 18 were all grown men and women. So i'm planning to have my phone ring on purpose then when he attempts to kick me out i tell him off. "i'm paying for this crap let me get my money back then and i'll leave". "you private schools are money hungry pigs anyway" probably throw in a few cusses in there also. Really i dont care i have an 80 average i can transfer to about 4 other colleges and yes they'll take me. What you guys think? what can the professor do anywayLegitGamer3212

Your professor has the right to impose such a rule, but it would be appalling if he used it to punish somebody who innocently forgot that his/her 'phone was on. I'd say he's obliged to repeat the warning at the beginning of each class. Sorta like those "Please silence your cell phone" messages cinemas play just before the movie starts. :P

Well if you don't like it drop the ******* class and stop whining. If you don't like the school, transfer and stop whining. Boot up or shut up is a good phrase for your situation.

An 80? That's hardly something to be proud of in college.

All of my classes the professor does not want you to have your cell phone ring. They all tell us this the first day of class. They say they will tell you to leave the class for the day if it rings. Most professors will not actually do anything but tell you to turn it off. But some actually will tell you to leave. Welcome to college.. there are still rules, you know.

So boot up or shut up.

Grown men and women huh? Then your phone off. If you can't then drop out. Those are your choices no matter how you go about it. I suggest the first option.

It isn't high school, fighting the man over the right to annoy everyone with your cell phone isn't cool anymore. It is going to bite you in the bum in the long run.

thats not the point. you dont get it....if he asked nicely i would do it in a heart beat but he starts by threatening everyone that there phone will be taken and kicked out then marked absent. hes dead serious about it too.

again, not the point, if he didn't threaten us, were all like 30+ in the class, its np. but he just starts by threatening us as if hes god. hey i'll confiscate it guys.......hey you'll be outta here guys.....etc.

Tell your prof to do the job your paying him to do, if its a private school their not going to kick you out if your paying, after all they care about nothing else.htekemerald

What is the point? You should turn your phone off. That is what adults should do and it is HIS class.

If you don't like his approach you drop the calss or sit down with him alone and tell him you didn't feel that was necessary and he will tell you if he feels the same way or not and everyone moves on with their life. That's the adult way to handle it. If you choose to handle it a childish way that you describe that's your call and no one's loss but your own.

Are you that dense? The professor is completely in the right to do this. It doesn't matter if you pay to go there or not. The college doesn't need you, you have the privelege of going there. If someone is trying to teach you something, you are supposed to respect that. And if you don't care about it, that doesn't mean others aren't disturbed by it. Almost everyday when I'm in class (in college btw) some moron's cell goes off. Its one thing if you forget, its another to just blatantly ignore the rule and disrupt class. If I was the professor and you pulled that kind of crap on me, and attempted to call me out or some nonsense, you wouldn't be attending my class again. You would be surprised how much pull tenured professors have at colleges...
