I think that someone in the class that I have today might be deliberately coughing at me.

March 6, 2016

She has coughed very loudly, every few minutes, since this class started today.

The class had a test a couple of weeks ago, and the person who is coughing today told me then that she made "150 flash cards" for the test.

It could be that she has a cold; it also could be that she's deliberately coughing more loudly than she needs to cough, either to harass me or because she has heard that I think that there are times when coughing is harassment and she wants to know what I'll do if she coughs loudly throughout this class, from 12:00 p.m. until 2:45 p.m.

Whether you deliberately cough at someone because you are trying to sexually harass the person or because you have heard that the person gets upset from coughing and you want to know what the person will do if you cough loudly around her, what you're doing is deliberately aggressing on that person for no reason. 

I have never done anything to that student or to anyone who has harassed me at this school.
