As for Renee's issue I would contact the proper authorities. I think it needs to be dealt with firmly and fairly but the student needs to know that this behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I have only had one "angry" student so far in my short career and it was off putting to start but I tried to engage him early in class participation. He certainly knew the material and had many insightful ideas but some days it was harder for him to engage.
