Don't be that person that...

Looks at distracting things during class

Everyone behind you can see what you are looking at. It is pretty difficult for others to focus on torts when anime and modern art are moving around on your screen. Hulu--don't even think about it. You are paying too much money to be messing around on stuff like that in class. I am not the boss of you, but if you care at all about your classmates, you will entertain yourself elsewhere.

Makes up his own hypos

When a professor creates a hypothetical situation, she has a purpose in doing so. The professor has thought about the logical progression of the class period and uses her hypo as a teaching tool. When a student creates a hypo, it is to probe the weird parts of the law and his own personal curiosity. Rarely will a student-created hypo do any good. They distract the professor and confuse other students. If you want to work on your own hypos to study and take them to the professor on your own time, by all means do it. Your hypo may clear up something that the professor will address in class. If you are dying to ask your question, just write it down. This will be a great lesson in patience. You will also have more friends than you would otherwise. Nobody likes these people.

Just some advice. Take it and I promise that you will appreciate it later. Leave it and you may not know the difference, but your colleagues most definitely will.

Cheers
