Professor holds class without cell service or wifi

Time via (LoopInsight): Yale Professor Moves Class to Room Without Wi-Fi. Cue Outrage.

The well-known professor tells the Yale Daily News he wanted the darker room so students could see the projected images of art better, enhancing the classroom experience. Add the darker room to the fact there was no wi-fi availability and he had a lecture hall he could get used to.

“In the past many students in the lecture were doing Facebook or email or all kinds of things on their computers,” Nemerov tells the Yale paper. “So for me it’s better if there’s a room where that is not possible, and one of the unfortunate effects of that is that I have to limit the enrollment of the class to the capacity of the auditorium.”

I see the professor’s logic here. However, I am in a similar situation this semester, and it’s pretty much hell.
