Clinical rotation expectations?

For the last five years I've been precepting students but an issue has come up recently that I'd love some input on. I know that every program may be different but should students be expected to have to do work outside their clinical hours such has reading up on patients they will be seeing the next day or finishing up notes? My current student told me that she is in school full time and works full time and so should not be expected to do any work for clinical outside of the clinic day. Of course, that severely limits the amount of hands on experience they are getting because she takes a long time writing notes. This is her third clinical rotation.

I realize that I should have clarified expectations about this at the start of clinical but would love thoughts about it this now. Thank you!
