19.2 Students’ Responsibilities

Along with rights come certain responsibilities, academic and non- academic integrity are essential part of student responsibilities.

19.2.1 Academic Responsibilities

  1. Students play an important active role in the creation of a high quality education environment. They cannot be passive, nor can their participation be superficial.
  2. The outcomes of the learning process in the form of projects, assignments, papers, presentations, examinations and other demonstrations of learning should show clear evidence of significant student engagement.
  3. In-depth learning requires performance over time and continued accumulation of knowledge and skills. Short-term experiences and engagement with the subject matter should not make up the whole of students' experiences.
  4. Students need to acknowledge their responsibilities to their fellow students by actively participating in group learning experiences.
  5. Students who fail to shoulder the above responsibilities and take up challenging tasks are considered inappropriate for the purpose of fulfilling the course learning objectives.
