Art History students just love the net

January 17 2012

Students at Yale are being turned away from an art history course because too many of them surf the web during class.* Professor Alexander Nemerov is limiting this year's intake to fit a smaller room on the campus - one where there is no Wifi. He told Yale Daily News:

In the past many students in the lecture were doing Facebook or email or all kinds of things on their computers. 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.

Clearly, they were all reading Art History News.
