Student Handbook 2024/25

13.7. Student conduct in lectures and classes

Aim: to significantly reduce (ideally, to eliminate) the problem of disruptive students

Simple and fundamental rules: While instruction is in progress, students may not:

• talk without being recognised
• use mobile phones
• use laptops for non-academic reasons, or
• arrive late to the lecture room

The 4 rules mentioned above represent ONLY the minimum standard for acceptable conduct that must be enforced in all courses.

It remains possible for a student to be disruptive in some other way, and instructors should view the policy as reinforcing their authority rather than constraining their professional judgement.
