[No, he is acting like a teacher trying to teach a class
where students are disruptive and making his teaching and the
learning of willing students difficult or impossible - and you
among the disruptive ones. At my university, students who were
disruptive - talking - would be sent out of the classroom. If they
refused to go, the professor would leave, announcing that it would
be up to the rest of the class to decide if the course were to
continue. If your professor has any sense, he will do the same. ]

[You are not in high school. The students in your class
should be acting like adults. (How much did you pay for this
course, by the way? If you were in a training session in a business
and conducting yourself as you describe, how long do you think it
would take your employer to show you the door? Is your conversation
with a neighbor - however low-voiced - helping you learn the
material the professor is delivering?)]
