CELL PHONES. TABLETS:

Since we are using Ebooks I will allow the use smartphones, tabs but not to text between class mates, friends. Cell phones and beepers are not needed in class. Leave them home, or they must be turued off during class time. They are distracting for other students who are here to learn as well as a distraction to the instructor.
