I use a laptop so i won't fall asleep...because when im tired during class i tend to have my notes start off clear then kinda get smaller and on top of each other, and finally end with a line extending down to the bottom of the paper. kinda makes reviewing difficult...
What evidence do you cite for that? What studies have been carried out? Do you actually have any proof or are you just taking the view that 'shes a professor, she must be right'?
I would say that most of the time the money is not "hard earned". Its either been given or yet to be earned, but that's really beside the point. What's with the (very common) attitude that the act of parting with money gives a person carte blanche to do whatever they want in any situation whatsoever? Institutions have the right to create policy and you have the right to either accept or reject the terms of the policy. Just spending money doesn't give you the automatic right to void someone else's policy.
All classes are about reading and discussing in college. I would assume you would need a laptop or PC in class for most of the science courses. However, the rest of your non-science classes don't require an electronic distraction.
I make backups like mad. I get new computers all the time and keep rolling my notes and other data forward. At any given time my data is in three different places. Keeping back-ups synchronized has never been a problem, just something I've disciplined myself to do.

If she sent an e-mail, she's not a Luddite.
