MYDUNDEE Students are advised within MyDundee to ensure that any information divulged by fellow students should remain confidential, as in classroom discussions. Similarly, confidential information such as that which identifies practice learning environments or individuals encountered within those should never be included within discussion boards. Any material of this type will be removed by the module tutor. Serious breaches of confidentiality will be dealt with according to the School policy.
