Listening to an instructor while texting a friend or communicating on Facebook during class is not effective at all. It divides your attention and makes it difficult to fully comprehend and retain the information being presented. Multitasking in class can cause several drawbacks. Firstly, it can lead to missing important information or instructions, which can impact your understanding of the subject matter and your ability to perform well in assignments and exams. Additionally, it can be disrespectful to the instructor and disruptive to other students. It also hinders your ability to actively engage in class discussions and ask questions, ultimately hindering your learning experience. Overall, multitasking in class can have a negative impact on your academic performance and your ability to fully grasp the material being taught. It's important to give your full attention to the instructor and the class in order to get the most out of your education.

"Faking attention" is also known as pseudo-listening.
