Just a note to say that I'm quoted in an article today on the Huffington Post on "Professor's Pet Peeves." 
And yes, that's really something that bothers me. I also agree with most of the other professors. In general to succeed in college, you need to:
- attend class on a regular basis
- pay attention and engage in the class discussion
- take notes in class
- review notes after the class
- don't use electronic devices in class as they are distracting to you and others
- do the homework
- get to know other students in class to possibly share notes and study together
- but do your own work and don't plagiarize.
