In the sense of a working agreement for the time of the course (over the semester, during the block course), it seems sensible to clarify teaching as a joint task of teacher and student.
As an introduction, and also as part of the rules for a course, teachers can transfer some of the responsibility for the success of the course, and above all for learning success, to the students. This should be stated openly and the typical procedure in the course and the resulting roles of teacher and students should be clarified. In addition, and as a result of this, forms and rules of communication should be clarified.
