Notes: During lectures, 82 percent found it easy/somewhat easy to text without the instructors’ awareness as opposed to much smaller 6 percent who expressed some kind of difficulty; During exams, 28 percent found it difficult as opposed to 11 percent who expressed relative ease. As expected, a much larger percentage, almost 46 percent, responded that they do not know the difficulty level, implying that they don’t engage in such a practice during exams
