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 by others in the class. Interdependency involves a student who is actively involved in his or her own learning and who has a collaborative relationship with the instructor. A passive learner is someone who is not actively 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.
