美国田纳西州孟菲斯大学的一名法学教授最近禁止学生们在上她的课时使用笔记本电脑。目前,该校学生正在谋求就此事对教授提起诉讼。
据美联社3月29日报道,这位名叫朱恩·恩特曼的教授说,她之所以会有此举动,主要是认为一旦允许学生使用笔记本电脑,那么他们在课堂上将会把大部分时间用来敲键盘,从而无暇去思考和分析自己所讲授的内容。
她的学生们已经开始四处搜集提起诉讼所需的签名,他们曾经希望通过美国律师协会来完成这次诉讼,但最终未获成功。一名叫科里·温塞特的学生表示,如果自己今后仍然无法在上课时使用笔记本电脑,那么他将会转到其它大学继续其学业。在温塞特看来,仅仅依靠手写来记笔记会让自己跟不上老师讲课的进度,他声称用这种方式写下的笔记其实是残缺不全且无条理的。

A University of Memphis law professor has banned laptop computers from her classroom and her students are passing a petition against it.
Professor June Entman says her main concern is that students are so busy keyboarding they can't think and analyze what she's telling them.
Students have begun collecting signatures on petitions and tried unsuccessfully to file a complaint with the American Bar Association.
Student Cory Winsett says if he must continue without his laptop, he'll transfer to another school. Winsett says he won't be able to keep up if he has to rely on hand-written notes, which he says are incomplete and less organized.
