Criteria C

Having homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes being sent to your iPods/iPhone in a daily basis will keep the students up to date with their classes and exams. If a student was absent or missed notes from a lecture then the student won’t have an excuse for missing deadlines or not being informed of a test. As for the disadvantages that this issue will inflict on the students, it will allow them to miss lectures or skip school, with a reassuring feeling that they will be updated with the important issues or quiz updates they missed. They will also receive their homework or any new assigned homework via the e-mail (through the iPhone). The disadvantages to this issue is far more critical than the advantages, because if university students start missing school in a regular basis then it will develop into a habit and more people will relay on the iPone to receive all the necessary updates from their university lecture.
