17. Regulations or procedures
Similar to departmental representatives and supervisors- Experiences
will be best when students have an understanding of the regulations
and procedures that govern their studies.
Therefore, students should:
Be knowledgeable and remain updated on
the department,
Faculty and
University regulations,
Policies Familiarize themselves with the offices and services on
campus as well as the organization of offices/individuals involved in
the administration of their program.
18. Regulations or procedures
Faculty- Know all-
Not just your teachers
organization of offices/
Individuals-
Mrs. Poornima, Mrs. Yashoda,
Mr. Prasanth
19. Regulations or procedures
Have knowledge of and meet all appropriate deadlines and
regulations associated with
registration,
fee payment,
award applications and post-graduation requirements,
as specified by the department, Faculty and University.
20. Intellectual property
• Post-Graduate students share responsibility in ensuring common
understanding with other university stakeholders with regard to
intellectual property (IP).
In the area of IP, students should:
Be informed about and adhere to Policies on the ownership of
intellectual property.
Engage their supervisor(s) in discussions that allow for students
and supervisors to come to an agreement, in writing, of their current
and future ownership of IP.
25. • Be responsible for developing a sound research plan with
achievable timelines and milestones. Students should seek the -
supervisor during the planning process and throughout its
execution.
• A students' timeline may include the completion dates of
milestones in master's and doctoral programs.
• Keep a systematic and accessible record of their research work
and results and be able to report to their supervisor and
advisory committee (where applicable) on their progress
Thesis/research paper publications
26. • Requirements:
Drugs/ Polymer/ Solvents and etccc
Proper plan
Mr. Basanth
Stores In charge
Thesis/research paper publications
27. Thesis/research paper publications
The preparation of a student’s thesis or research paper is often a time
during which students require the most support.
Further, common expectations between students and their supervisor(s)
are critical in this time period.
To maximize the likelihood of positive experiences for students and
supervisors, students should:
28. Thesis/research paper publications
Discuss, prior to the submission of a review/research paper, a draft of
the submission with their supervisor.
In addition, students should be aware of predatory journals and
conferences.
The Library has resources and staff to help students recognize these
organizations.
Chief Librarian:
Mr. B L Madhu
E-Books, Thesis,
Subscribed Journals,
Plagiarism
and manyyyyy
31. Communication/absence
Discuss plans with supervisors prior
to being absent; include how
communications and
responsibilities will be managed
during the absence.
Considerations should include the
student’s own academic progress as
well as any research activities that
the student’s absence may
influence.
32. Safety
Creating safe environments and conducting activities in ways that
promote safety are shared responsibilities among students,
supervisors and other stakeholders.
To advance the goal of safety, graduate students should:
• Familiarize themselves and comply with the safety regulations
specified by the supervisor, department, Faculty and University
• Be proactive in seeking opportunities to maintain and enhance
their safety training when regulations or expectations change,
or when new safety risks arise.
33.
34. Financial support
• Funding and access to financial resources are of critical importance
to post-graduate students’ well-being.
• Students will often receive financial support from various sources
and that may change over the course of their studies.
• Students’ primary responsibilities around funding are three-fold: to
understand the nature of their funding – the amount and the
timing – ; and to meet the requirements of the activities for which
the students are being supported.
Financial support
Financial support
36. Timeframes & Academics
To work effectively toward completion of the degree in a timely manner.
•
Academics: To successfully complete a program of study consisting of the
number of credit hours specified by the departmental requirements
37. Integrity and ethics
To assume the highest integrity and maintain ethical standards in
all aspects of the student’s work, including coursework and
research, especially in the tasks of collecting, analyzing, and
presenting research data and in writing reports or essays.
38. Work environment &
Collegiality
• To help maintain a clean and safe work environment, including but
not limited to classroom spaces, laboratory spaces, and common
spaces.
• Collegiality:
• companionship and cooperation between colleagues who share
responsibility.
• Ensuring that all students, faculty, and staff are treated with respect.
39.
40. Effort
• To devote full time and effort toward completing degree
requirements (for full-time students).
• Students are expected to be on campus and completing degree
requirements during the academic semester.

43. Brophy’s 5 Suggestions
1. Personal relationships beyond instructional purposes
2. Spend time outside college hours dealing with
students and families
3. Deal with complex problems
4. Face opposition – from colleagues and administrators
5. Possibly face opposition from students and family
44. Marzano’s 3 Action Steps to Enhance Student
Responsibility
1. Classroom Procedures
2. Self-Monitoring and Control Strategies
3. Cognitively Based Strategies
45. Classroom Procedures to enhance responsibility:
Class meetings
Language of responsibility:
The language we use is a window to our thoughts.
If students do not have a language to talk about responsibility, they
have few tools to explore the concept.
Written statement of beliefs (vision & mission)
Written self-analysis
46. Marzano’s 3 Action Steps
1. Classroom Procedures
2. Self-Monitoring and Control Strategies
3. Cognitively Based Strategies
47. Self-Monitoring and Control Strategies
Not to be used with the entire class, just with those students
for whom the general management techniques are not
working.
Require students to observe their own behavior, record it,
compare it with predetermined criteria, and then
acknowledge and reward their own success if reached.
48. Marzano’s 3 Action Steps
1. Classroom Procedures
2. Self-Monitoring and Control Strategies
3. Cognitively Based Strategies
49. Types of Cognitively-Based Strategies
Social Skills Training
– Socially inept students
Problem Solving
– More general.
These strategies generally contain the
following steps:
50. Cognitively Based Strategies
1. Know your emotions- Stop!
2. Different ways to Respond
3. Think about Consequences
4. Select Action Best for You and Others
Key: Helps them understand why and
how they react to specific situations so
they can better control their own
behavior.
51. Ultimately, students are individually
responsible for their course of study and
conducting, communicating and
defending their proposed research plan
and outcome.
Editor's Notes
Ways we Talk about Responsibility
There are different ways we use the word responsibility, including Be responsible, Take responsibility, It’s your responsibility, Act responsibly.
What are some other ways students hear the word “Responsible” used?
All of these ways of talking about responsibility are related to doing the things we are supposed to do,or doing the things we are responsible for.
What is Responsibility
Explain what a responsibility is- it’s something you are expected to do.
When you do the thing you are expected to do, you are being responsible, and a positive result occurs.
When you do not do the thing you are supposed to do, you are not being responsible, or being irresponsible, and there is a negative consequence for having neglected your responsibility.
Being responsible has two components- 1) the act of doing the thing you are responsible for, and 2) accepting the good or negative outcome of your actions.
What are some examples of Responsibilities?
Responsibilities can be tasks, or jobs, that you are supposed to do. It’s a responsibility because there is a result or outcome you are working toward. If you don’t do the task, there is a negative result.
Responsibilities can have to do with how we act / behave around others. We are expected to act a certain way (be responsible in how we act) because if we don’t there may be a negative outcome.
Discuss some tasks and behavior expectations and the positive or negative consequences of being responsible or irresponsible. For example:
Do your homework-
If you do it, you learn and it helps prepare you for life. It may also keep your parents and teachers happy and you may get praise.
If you don’t do it, it hurts your ability to learn and grow. Parents and teachers may be disappointed. There may be consequences like losing privileges until your work is done.
Don’t hurt yourself of others
It’s your responsibility think about how you are working in the classroom or playing outside. Acting responsibly helps keep you and others safe from harm.
Responsibility Scenarios
Walk through the examples of being responsible. Compare what a responsible action is and its positive outcome (on the left) with the irresponsible action and its negative consequence (on the right.)
Being responsible is about choosing the right action, but it’s also about taking responsibility for the results (good or bad). How does it feel when you choose the responsible action? How does it feel when you face the consequences of the irresponsible action?
When it’s hard to do the responsible thing, how can thinking about the possible negative outcome (and how bad it will feel later) help you to choose the right action?
Why is responsibility important- Actions
Being responsible is about linking actions with their consequences. One way to understand why responsibility is important is to consider what would happen if people were not responsible. For example:
Playing or working with others- What could happen if someone plays too rough with others, doesn’t do their share of a group project, leaves sharp objects on the playground…
Taking care of their body- What could happen if someone eats lots of junk food or they ride their bike down a big hill where they can’t see cars coming?
Taking care of things and spaces: What could happen if people don’t pick up their trash, or don’t take care of their houses, or leave their toys lying around in the rain?
Sometimes if one person doesn’t do something it isn’t a big deal. But what if everybody did it?
Being responsible is a group effort- we each need to be responsible to others the way we’d like them to be responsible for our sake.
Why is responsibility important- Feelings
Being responsible feels better than being irresponsible, in the long run. Sometimes it’s hard to do the right, or responsible, thing in the moment. It can be tempting to do what you want to do instead of what you need to do. But long term, actions have consequences. Being responsible gets you the result you want. Irresponsible decisions lead to negative consequences that are no fun.
When it’s hard to do the responsible thing, think about how it will feel later when you have to pay for the consequences of your actions.
When you’re a kid, it may not seem like that big of a deal. As you get older, the choices and the consequences become more significant
