Student Responsibilities
Learning is an active process that occurs over time. The student bears as much responsibility for learning as the instructor. Either the student or the instructor working alone will fall short of what can be accomplished when the student and instructor work together. The students accepting responsibility for their learning will actively participate in creating a good learning environment for themselves and fellow classmates. Student’s upholding their responsibilities will acquire a deeper level of understanding of course material and will achieve a higher level skill of development than students passively waiting for learning to occur.
Students taking responsibility for their learning success display the following traits:
- Attend all class sessions
- Demonstrate professional behavior by calling the instructor if they are going to be late, or absent
- Be prepared to start class at the class start time
