Abstract
To fully understand the impact of learning and teaching within the current university context, we need to examine our assumptions about students as they embark on and complete their degrees. Are they primarily consumers, customers, clients or “studentshoppers” (Hil, 2012) who purchase a product (degree), who maintain a sense of entitlement about the ultimate procurement of the degree, and who expect academics to deliver the content and knowledge necessary for their chosen profession or outcome? Are they active, engaged co-learners who wrestle with concepts and ideas, who problem-pose and question the status-quo, who create learning communities as part of the university experience and who take on responsibility for their learning? Are they something, or someone, else?
