Anger via email

A student who is upset or angry about the class/grade will sometimes use email as a quick way to lash out at an instructor. I try to reply with a question as to how I can help resolve the issue or find out if there is an issue that they want to discuss with me in person. What other ways can an angry email be turned into an open discussion?

as instrutors it's ok to admit to your mistakes it also shows the student that they will also make mistakes and go on with life and not to dwell on it

Activity

Any activity that is done that breaks up the work can be stress releiving. Stretching after sitting for a long time, a short walk around the building, or talking to someone about something other than work.

Stress

The biggest thing we can do is to learn to relax. Do not take everything that happens to us personally.

Taking Control

In everything that we do we priortize the items done. We do not always write them down but we do make the decision to act.

We are all human, some people make more mistakes than other's. It's a difficult task to avoid, unless you are perfect in which we all know we are.

challenges

Challenging students may also be difficult. First the difficulties needs to be located. Then work on that aspect to get through to the student.

unfocused students

Very tough to get thru to a few of our students. First they must be allowed to feel comfortable in class, then begin.

successs

Setting the stage for this learning experiance is the most important thing to be consistant with. That way each class will begin and end the same way, unless changes must be added.
