How can I get my students to pay attention in class?
Weekly quizes, especially if it is a lecture class.  The students that do pay attention will find this beneficial to them for studying for the final and those that don't pay attention or don't show up will be "punished" in the grading scale.
ahahahahah first i'd advise checking into bedlam and planning on staying there for a while... then go to the store and buy them some cookys \n lmfao
