Student Responsibilities and Plagiarism: Student responsibilities There are a number of things you can do to ensure a good constructive relationship with your teacher and a smooth sailing throughout the semester: Keep your Teacher informed about any problems or issues with your Course. Allow plenty of time to arrange appointments with your teacher. It is often difficult for teacher to make meetings at short notice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have received your allocated amount of supervision. Allow sufficient time for your teacher to read through and provide feedback on your queries. Expect a lead time of around 1 week for feedback. Follow the advice of your teacher.
