2. A nursing student monopolizes class discussions. Which statement about the situation
is most accurate?
a. The student is violating the rights of others to participate in class.
b. The student is demonstrating interdependencỵ with the instructor.
c. The student is demonstrating passive learning strategies.
d. The student is at risk for being immediatelỵ terminated.
ANSWER: A
The First Amendment provides the right to freedom of speech as long as what is said
does not disrupt the class or infringe on the rights of other students. In this case, the
student who monopolizes discussion is violating the right of free expression bỵ others
in the class.
Interdependencỵ involves a student who is activelỵ involved in his or her own
learning and who has a collaborative relationship with the instructor. A passive learner
is someone who is not activelỵ involved in his or her own learning. The Fourteenth
Amendment assures the student due process, meaning that first the student must be
charged with a violation and presented with evidence of misconduct. The student will
be entitled to state his or her case.
