I learned stratagies on how to approach different types of student behavior
Sometimes the best approach to managing the angry student is to listen to them. Show you are listening by writing down their complaints/concerns.
Having a method for submitting a written complaint can help to build a framework where the student feels that if they have a concern is will be addressed in a formal, documented way.
WHAT I have learned in this module is to let the angry stuent vent, get it out and I just listen and take notes, however it it gets to disrespectful, I can remove myself away from the situation. I also like the idae of setting clear expectation and housekeeping rule on the first day of class, and have everybody read and inital it.
I like the idea of lisning to the students and but also setting up rules.
Good suggestions. I think that the points covered were worth my time
When I am dealing with an angry student it is always best to listen to what they have to say rather than react quickly.
Disruptive students can often be a challenge and one of the biggest disrruptions is being late. I am working being able to set those clear expectations. The first hour of everyday is so key.
i have found that listening to angry students is a good way of deescalating a situation. More problematic is when you have a quiet, angry student.
Great tips for addressing cheating.
Student bad behaviors can be a big distraction, for the instructor, as well as the class. I always try to speak with the student privately to see what's going on with them. A lot of the time, it has nothing to do with school. Sometimes they just need someone to listen. I do my best.

I have had these encounters and found that deplomacy workd well.
I truly liked the idea experssed in the video that if you do not not how to articulte your idea clear is the same of not knowing. Brilliant! I will use it my seminars!
I like the idea of using serial tests instead of a large final. This reduces stress of students which can help to curb cheating.
The best way to curb cheating is to remove opportunities to do so.
I learned that even though there are several "bad actor" students they should all be handled with a systematic approach. Create an environment that doesn't leave much room for them to cheat or disrupt. Having clear rules and regulations with consequences for cheating also helps.
Many times some students will try to cheat if they have opportunity to do so. It is important for the instructor to separate students and stand in the back of the class to make sure students cannot cheat.
This series of learning was very helpful for me. I have a better unsderstanding on what needs to be done when encountered with difficult students. In addition, I find the wording in these strategies very usefull. When I have discussions with my "hard to get to " students, I will definitaley use some of the verbage that was used in this lesson.
Always allow students to explain their frustration before being confrontational.
Reply to Margarita Sanchez's post:Treating student who disrespect the class does require you to raise a firm voice not necessarily a raised voice. Student should be made aware of offences only if they have been informed of what the classroom rules are first. This can be a challenge for students in class vs. students who are on zoom. Each situation is handled differently but the expectation must always be the same.
Cheating or the perception of cheating can be damaging to the student so it should be handled in on an individual basis. When more than one student is involved - have one-on-one conversations with them is key. Without accusations examples like use of the exact verbage on wrong answers whtich they both got wrong, making the situation visable and not verble. Student are more willing to acknowledge the offence.
