Presentation and Answer

 We now claim into conclusion: Are smartphones a

helpful tool to be brought by students to a
University/College or is just another distraction to take
away your attention in learning? It can divert student
attention into communicating to other people rather than
listening to classes, it can also lead to cheating, mostly on
colleges because of the large crowds that students are
misguided in using their cellphones and are tempted to do
just about anything they want if they are left behind by
the school professor/teacher inside the facilitating area
where they are taking their exams/seatworks.

Conclusion

 We would like to recommend this term paper for those

professors who are hardly notice students who use
smartphones inside their classrooms, it can be of a big
distraction, they might look like their listening but they
are dwelled in their own world, might as well make the
student reflect on what he is doing and how is he doing it.
