Current Students will find the information they need regarding some of the Department-specific practicalities of being a Visual Studies student here. In preparing their research papers, students are expected to follow a style sheet, just as they are expected to avoid intellectual dishonesty and to sign a form declaring that they understand what plagiarism is and have indeed avoided it in their submitted work. The style sheet adopted by Visual Studies is available here, as are any number of other forms, guidelines, and questionnaires relevant to the day-to-day business of being a Visual Studies student.
Main office communication with students
The Department regularly communicates with students, about internship opportunities, Board meetings, Staff/Student consultative committees, and any number of other important matters. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the Main Office has his or her most up-to-date email address and phone number. As an integral part of their professional ethos, Visual Studies students are expected to check their Lingnan email
accounts on a regular basis.
Student representation on committees
Students have an opportunity to liaise with the Department about a wide
range of issues, through the Departmental Board, for example, and through
the Staff/Student consultative committee. A student representative who is
unable to attend a scheduled meeting is expected to notify the Main
Office. He or she is also expected to send another student to the meeting
in his or her stead, and to let the Main Office know who this student is.
