Several studies and anecdotal experience shows that laptops are a distraction in the classroom - they disrupt learning, lower the performance of students who use them, and even distract the other students. Here is an article that discusses some of the issues: article1, article2. Students may not use laptops, cell phones, or other electronic devices in this classroom. If you expect this will pose an undue hardship for your learning, please speak with the professor.

If you have any special needs (e.g., medical conditions), please come and talk directly with the professor.
