127.8 Student-Faculty Academic Relationships |
A. Background In order that desirable student-faculty relationships in the educational process may be promoted, the following policy is adopted by the Furman University faculty. |
B. Policy Students at Furman University should be informed of the requirements of courses in which they are enrolled, and of current or pending academic policies which might affect them. Students should be allowed to participate appropriately in the selection of prospective faculty members when feasible to do so. |
C. Guidelines 1. Faculty members should convey to each class at the beginning of the semester the specific requirements of the course. 2. Faculty members should keep a student's unreturned papers, tests, and examinations for a period of two regular semesters following the end of the course and allow the student to inspect them if he or she so desires. 3. Members of the academic administration should inform students of changes in academic policies before they go into effect. Faculty members are urged to assist in this process. 4. Department chairs should involve students in the selection of prospective faculty members whenever feasible. ........................... |
