Avoiding cheating is always out there and would like not having final exams
It's important to monitor your students and take action to deal with problem students before they become disruptive to the other students in the class.
I did like the concept of listening to the student's problem or complaint before reacting. Students come from diverse backgrounds and have many different issues going on. For example, a student may not have done his homework because he works a full time job to help pay his family's bills. By listening to the student and truly hearing what they are saying you can understand the situation better. At least the student will have felt heard no matter what the decision may be.
I learned that you need to try different methods when dealing with disruptive students.
I learned of many ways to deal with students and their behavior. For students that do not talk alot they can br put in groups . Also listening is a great way to hear the concerns of the students.
I learned to manage and monitor students who are silent in the class and allow angry student's the opportunity to vent.
it is good to know your class and remain in control. there will be quiet students in the class, some that will try to cheat, some that will come to class angry, and so forth. It is important to know how to address each case and keep the class moving forward.
Strategies for effectively managing students who are silent, angry or cheating and those who are disruptive and may warrant being removed/dismissed from the class.
I learned that I need to set more clear expectations about classroom behavior. I have a hard time giving zeros and sticking to the consequences and I have let that get me runover so to speak. I plan to use all the strategies and be consistent with what is in the syllabus.
When a student has an angry outburst, listening should be the first strategy in mitigating the issue
I like this. It has given me many options on dealing with a problem student. listen to them we as Instructors may not know what they are going through, just listening and being a mentor may resolve 99% of the issue.
I have learned that no instructor wants to lose a student so try everything that you can to help make that problem student a part of your class
Students who are cheaters will take every opportunity to do so. They have ethical issues to deal with. Eliminate as many of these opportunities as you can.
It is important to address behavior early and have clear expectations for students.
Being calm and listening can be a big help in understanding a disruptive student. Having clear expectations of conduct and sticking to those expectations is important; being fair and consistent with all students is important. Evaluating students throughout the course for their grade instead of basing most of their grade on the final exam can help reduce the stress the students feel, allowing them to be more successful through the course.
Good strategies on cheating, also on the silent student. Confrontational is never the way to go, it usually doesn't end well.
I like the learning related to monitoring students because it will help educators identify potential issues before there full blown problems. I also like the aspect of making 2-3 second eye contact with students and acknowledging positive interactions in real time. I thought the aspect of an angry student being able to infect other students was interesting. In nursing, i have certainly seen this happen on the floor and it makes sense that it could happen in the classroom. I think making the extra effort to connect with this student, Listen!, and ensuring this student feels heard could go a long way in diffusing a situation. Very helpful section!
Being consistent in your expectations is so important - if you give consequences, you must follow through with them.
Learned to continue to be observant at student languages, allowing space for students to talk when angry and methods on how to handle cheating and cheating opportunities
Extracting a disruptive uncooperative student from your class can be challenging, and navigating the best way to handle the situation is just as important.
