If there is a student that is being agressive towards you, step away from situation. Don't allow yourself to be part of the abuse.
Sit in the back while students are taking a test rather than walking around, which may increase their anxiety while taking an exam.
This is a very helpful module. Sometimes, when a student disrupts in class, they are seeking to be seen. It is important to know the student and know how to help that student express themselves in a positive way in the classroom.
I learned in this lesson to always have control of your class. When dealing with an angry student, listen to what they have to say.
I really appreciated this lesson as it taught me much about handlining the different student personalities.
Each student is different and may require a different approach. I'll be aware of this and try to make sure each student has the level of attention they need.
I learned that dealing with challenging students starts with clear expectations, consistency, and staying calm. I learned the importance of addressing issues early and focusing on communication rather than reacting emotionally. Understanding that challenging behavior often comes from frustration or confusion helped shift my perspective. I plan to apply this by listening actively, setting clear boundaries, and responding in a respectful and professional way so the learning environment remains positive and supportive for everyone.
Do everything in you power to remain the student in class unless they are disruptive to the class and stop the others from learning.
This was a interesting module. I learned that managing angry students requires prioritizing safety, and listening without defensiveness. Clear boundaries help maintain respect, fairness, and a safe learning environment for everyone.
Every class has its challenges and you need to pay attention and try and reach every student.
This module helped me understand that adult learners require many of the same teaching techniques used with younger learners, but they also need greater patience, tolerance, and understanding from the instructor.
Appreciate this detailed lesson on how to handle the different type of challenging students you will encounter. It is so important to be consistent, have clear guidelines, and look at yourself first when approaching situations regarding student conduct.
I liked the video about the Inclusionary Dimension. I hadn't thought of that and it makes sense. I also had not thought about the walking about the class during tests wasn't the best idea, even though I have done it for years. I may just park myself in the back of the classroom from now on.
Some students will try to cheat on exams and some students tend to be disruptive in class and are a distraction to the other students.
Sitting in the back where you can see all the students while taking the exam makes them aware that you are watching them, thereby discourages cheating. Walking around while they're taking their tests/exams makes them nervous or more nervous so refrain from doing that. Great info!
I thought the tips on how to become an effective monitor were great. The one that stood out most to me was the tip of ensuring to address and acknowledge every student. I will do this in the start of the classes and throughout my lectures
I think the most helpful content for me were the strategies for helping the silent students. I have tried small groups but I have not utilized student panels in the way that was described in the module. I think that might be a great approach for some of my students.
Also, even though it is much more work, I need to add in more assessments that are not objective tests to curtail cheating.
The two most common reasons for silent students in class: shy students and students that feel insecure about the knowledge they have about course content.
It true Student's who are cheater will find an opportunity to cheat
