Asking Inappropriate or Problematic Questions
Students may sometimes ask questions you have already answered
on a number of occasions, ask you over and over again for a verbal
assessment of their status or grade in the class, or ask questions
or raise issues that are loaded or hostile. As in dealing with
other disruptive behavior, begin by speaking privately with the
student, pointing out the ways in which the questions or issues
fall beyond the bounds of appropriate classroom behavior. If
the problem persists, you should bring it to the attention of
PWR directors, who will help you develop additional strategies
for addressing it.
