I see that you're trying to create a clause out of "学生は授業中ノートブックを使う" but aren't doing it right. You should make the predicate a modifier for the subject.

Take this as an example: "Oil paintings that my girlfriend painted have become popular." This would be rendered effectively as 彼女の描いた油絵は人気になってきた。 Actually, I'm guessing you're at a level where you would not have learned to use の at the beginning, but が instead. But の sounds better. But if you haven't learned it yet, you shouldn't use it.

Now reconsider your sentence structure there!


Yes. Absolutely. Why did you put it in the first place?
Thank you so much for your reply. The reason I put in だ is because my Japanese is terrible rusty. I quit college in '05 and I haven't used it in a real way ever since. The reason I got confused is because な-adjectives take だ。Like in 嫌いだと思います。But I wasn't sure if I remembered it correctly.

I'll be patching my essay now :P
