most of the student that i have had that had a anger issue usally have trigger points tha if know about can be avoided or lessoned by cheking student attiude at the begining of class

i have found that by setting the disiplin level at the very start ,just like telling the student the courses coriculom will help the students understand what will be exspected of them throughout the course. this will also help the following instructors as well.

you hit the nail on the head being taught by or being made to think out side the box to answer a question from a student from the perspective is one of the best moments you can have

i can not agree with you more but to often instructor are not secure in letting themselves be seen as any thing less than perfect.big egos or a fear that it will be taken as a sign of weakness either way the student and the instructor lose.

how many of us admit that we have made mistakes and use this human side to make a point and that if we learn from our mistakes that the knowledge gained will far out way the embarassment of it in the first place
