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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Students need to acknowledge their responsibilities to their fellow students by actively participating in group learning experiences.
- 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.
19.2.2 Non-Academic Responsibilities
- Students at UD are expected to act consistently with the values and ethics of the university community and to obey local and federal laws of the country.
