Negotiations.

I feel that the negotiations for this class were perfect. I don't see why it's hard to not go on Facebook or Myspace during class time. If anybody in the class can't possibly wait 50 minutes to go on Facebook while they are in class then they have a problem and they're super addicted to the Internet! It's rude to go on Facebook and Myspace and listen your iPod in class when someone is talking and you're in class. I'm pretty sure they didn't allow anyone to do that wherever we went to high school and I don't see why people think it's OK to do whatever they want in college. The professors and TA's should be respected in their class just as we had to respect our teachers in high school. I'm pretty sure anyone in the class can refrain from Facebook and Myspace for all of class. I'm almost 100% sure that we all check Facebook or Myspace 20 times a day, and nothing that exciting is going to happen in 50 minutes, we can check it later!

The class participation rule is a good rule I think. We should lose points if we're not paying attention to what people are saying during discussions and class. The weekly tests are good too, then you know that we're paying attention in class and doing the homework that's needed in class. I think if we do our best, that our final drafts should be good, especially if we're doing the homework so it shouldn't matter if we get credit or not for our rough drafts.

Overall I think the negotiations are necessary and should be respected by all of the students in the class.
