I have quite a few of these students, and yes, while they are quite smart, they think that they can just yell out the answer without allowing others to answer. I'm tempted th try the old "dinner table" trick. Whoever has the pot-holder, can speak. I'm in a nursing program, so I could use a piece of nursing equipment. What does everyone think?

Last semester I taught nursing to 20 students. 10 were LPN's. Every week I would ask about their clinical experience from the week before, and many of them would refuse to share. for no reason.

Last semester, I taught a nursing program to 20 students. 10 were LPN's. Before every class, I would plan everything out, do a powerpoint presentation, give handouts, review for tests, have post test reviews.

They would come in late and sometimes walk out of a class for no reason. My question is: what do I do if I have practically no support from the Directors?

I would like to know how to handle the class when they ridicule students for studying, or being too smart, or answering questions.
