NOTE:

Students can only view added items; items modification is impossible. By default, the All items radio button is selected for the Read access and Edit access options.

 

(Drop Box ->Settings -> List Settings ->General Settings ->Advanced Settings)

 

It is not recommended to modify the default settings. If Only their own or None radio buttons are selected, settings will remain the same (users will only be able to view items; modification is impossible anyway).
