The role of a student
As a student, your job is to read. A university has been described as a library around which academics gather. A degree is read, not studied.
During the course of your studies, you should become ever more familiar with the body of literature around which your subject is based. Your modules are designed to guide your reading in the same way that a traditional face-to-face lecture would. As you move through your academic journey, you will become better at this and have an ever increasing appreciation for the knowledge that is contained within this body of literature. The modules that you follow will help you unlock this knowledge through reading. The assignments that you produce will enable your tutors to assess how well you have engaged with and understood that body of knowledge through the reading that you have done.
