According to Feldmann (2001), classroom incivility is defined as “any action that interferes with a harmonious and cooperative learning atmosphere in the classroom.” (AlKandari 1) Disruptive activities include sleeping in class, texting, failing to pay attention to the professor or act in a respectable manner, or any other activity that does not promote a positive and effective learning environment. Incivility can be as minor as failing to pay attention or as extreme as engaging in violent behaviors toward an instructor. When added to the fact that cell phones and other electronic distractions are practically a permanent fixture in the lives of students today, classroom incivility is more prominent now than ever. This disrupts teachers, other students, and even the integrity of the higher learning
