The Covenant University lecturer explained that the rules are designed to elevate the standard of learning and block any avenues for unethical student-teacher dynamics.
1. Handouts are banned
Speaking on campus life and instructional guidelines, the lecturer stated that members of the faculty are completely forbidden from selling text materials directly to undergraduates.
@mautinogabi said:
"Lecturers are not allowed to sell handouts to students at all. Textbooks, whatever, you are not allowed to sell anything to students."
2. Notes in printed format is barred
She further revealed that even the distribution of personal notes in printed formats is barred. Instead, the school utilises an automated database system where students can easily view educational materials.
In her words:
"Hard copy notes in hard forms are not allowed. All notes are to be in soft copies, and we upload them to a portal where students have access to them with their passcode."
3. No gifts from students allowed
Addressing ethical considerations within the university system, the female lecturer made it known that the management has zero tolerance for gifts or financial compensation from learners to their instructors.
According to her, this rule is strictly enforced to protect the validity of the grading process.
She stated:
"Lecturers are not allowed to collect anything from students. Gift, monetary gift, whatever... they are not allowed. And of course, the reason for that is very simple, I mean, for ethical reasons to ensure objectivity and maintain integrity."
