I was a student very recently and if I class was boring, or too easy (easy enough I could get by without good notes) I distracted myself, with or without a laptop. Most Mathematics professors don't allow laptops to be brought to class, so I planned out personal projects, made UMLs, and at one point wrote shitty poetry if I got bored.

If he's going to ban laptops, I hope he refrains from reading off powerpoint slides. Any professor or teacher who does has given up their right to be mad if students aren't paying attention.
