Student Responsibility for Learning
The faculty, administration, and staff of Bossier Parish Community College believe that learning is a team effort, and we work diligently to fulfill our obligations, inside and outside the classroom. Students, however, are the most vital part of this effort. Since you have made the decision to come to college, you have made the simultaneous choice to be responsible for your academic success.
What does taking responsibility for learning mean?
• It means that you attend class (get online) regularly.
• It means that you complete all assignments on time.
• It means that you understand that each instructor has different requirements and expectations, that you read each syllabus carefully to discern each instructor’s requirements and expectations, and that you abide by the instructor’s requirements and expectations.
• It means that you participate actively in class.
• It means that you put forth considerable time and effort in your academic work and that you turn in work that reflects your time and effort.
• It means that you take advantage of the College’s resources (such as the Learning Center, the Technology Resource Center, Library workshops, Technology workshops) to ensure that your skills are at the levels they need to be for college work.
• It means that you continuously assess your progress in each class and immediately take steps to address any deficiencies or weaknesses.
• It means that you accept the consequences when you do not meet your responsibilities as a student.
