We are all different when it comes down to our behavior and respect for others. So when it comes to establishing ground rules we need to take this into consideration.

This in turn will make them feel a sense of belonging, being involved, more comfortable and they will normally abide by the rules throughout the course as they have set them.
During the term of the course if rules have been broken and the students have not stepped in to rectify the problem then the teacher will need to get involved so that rules can be re-negotiated. This way the teacher becomes a facilitator and none of the students have been undermined in anyway, thus keeping respect and onus of responsibility on them.

• Establishing effective working groups
