UCLan expects you to behave in a respectful manner demonstrated by using appropriate language in class, and switching mobile phones / other devices off prior to attending classes.
If your behaviour is considered to be unacceptable, any member of academic staff is able to issue an informal oral warning and the University will support staff by invoking formal procedures where necessary. You can read more about UCLan expectations in the regulations for the Conduct of Students.
Please follow these ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ts’ for the classroom to make learning an enjoyable and constructive experience for everyone.
Do’s Don’ts
Be punctual and return from breaks on time (on-campus students) Waste time
Be prepared Use your mobile phone – AT ALL! (on-campus students)
Be supportive to your fellow students Finish off your lunch during teaching time
(on-campus students)
Be respectful and value each other Be discourteous
Be open and honest Undermine others
Listen carefully Have mini-conversations with your colleagues during class / Blackboard sessions
Maintain confidentiality Discuss incidences / clients /staff members outside the classroom /Blackboard sessions
How Much Work Should I Do?
The normal amount of work involved in achieving a successful outcome to your studies is to study for 10 hours per each credit you need to achieve – this includes attendance at UCLan and time spent in private study. For additional guidance on how to spend your time more effectively please refer to the module learning plan section in the module descriptor and your module handbooks
