CONCLUDING REMARKS BY THE COURSE LECTURER
|
|
Students are expected to participate fully in the educational process and at no time disrupt or diminish the educational experience of others. Safety, self discipline and respect for others are necessary elements in the educational processes employed in all courses, and certainly upheld in this one. All students should be familiar with the Student Code of Ethics. |
