Get a pager with a vibrate feature and make contact with the person paging
you after or between classes.  The cell phone has this unique feature called
the "O-F-F" button.  During class it should be turned off.  People who you
gave out your number to should be reminded that you are in class and may not
be able to be contacted during that time.  When you get into the so-called
"real world" of business...you may end up in the unemployment line if your
pager or cell phone interrupts a meeting.  Been there, done that!
