Of course, this was for a graduate class. For undergrads you may need to be less subtle.

I SO WANT THAT PROFESSOR. I have a weekly 3-hour seminar and without fail somebody's cell phone goes off during the lecture. It's usually the same blonde chick who lets it go for a minute or two, realizes it's hers, and turns it off. Sometimes she even goes out of the room to answer the call! Do people realize how disruptive this is?!
Now I can understand if a student lets the professor know before class that he/she is expecting a VERY important phone call and sets the phone to vibrate, and if that call is recieved he/she exits the room without much disturbance.
The class has threatened to break her phone The professor has threatened to break her fingers.
