@djasak :   Yes and that encouragement should be provided frequently. Students will respect you more, and be more motivated to work harder. There is nothing like positive feedback from the instructor that is honest and genuine. Even small steps forward followed by encouragement for some students can work wonders for ther motivation.

@cburgesspc : @cburgesspc :  I agree must be addressed  quickly with a positive outcome before the problem escalates.  Sometimes it is a outside problem that makes the student feel this way and has nothing to do with your school. Best discussed one on one and you must be sincere at listening so the student can trust you and truly tell you why he feels that way.
