Refrain from texting or surfing the Internet during class

Many individuals believe that they can readily multi-task and that it is productive to text or surf the Internet during class. The reality--as borne out by exam scores--however, is that many individuals vastly over-estimate the learning that occurs when only partial attention is given to your professor's wisdom. It is also important to keep in mind that the psychological trauma--which may occur at the unconscious level--of being an incredibly rotten psychopath who disturbs his or her classmates and shows the professor great disrespect can be so devastating that intellectual function is greatly impaired.

Being a surfing psycho is antithetical to being a good student!
