Jennifer, another thing to consider is the learning of the student that jumped ahead. Did you provide any ability for the student to earn extra credit for providing any value added information to the classroom discussions? Dr. Joe Pace from The Pacific Institute has often stated in his over 20 years of work in Higher Education that the teacher will appear when the student is ready and it appears you have a student that is eager to learn so I would find a way to tap into their energy and use it to add value to the classroom and to that specific student.
