There was a incident that came to my attention and I thought I should bring this up to all your attention. A student wrote through the NPY feedback channel e-service :
"
Recently during the morning lecture 30th may 08, i was using my laptop during the IT 1106 lecture. While looking at the slides, i realised i know almost everything about the slides that were to be presented. Hence i decided to entertain myself by playing some games. During then a lecturer came up to me asking for my student admin card. I don't think i should be "repremanded" because of it. I know my work already, so what is wrong with using my laptop to do other things? I wasn't causing any distraction to anyone around me"
So do you all think the student did the RIGHT thing? Is it ok to do that during lecture or in class? You might have your own thoughts about this, but my response is:
NO There are rules about playing games in classes and you are not suppose to do that. He has shot himself in the foot because the feedback is routed directly to the School of IT Director who is also the Vice Principal of NYP. So do you think the student shouldn't be reprimanded? Your views?
