One thing I have always found to be successful with students who are becoming upset is
to let them know that I want them to succeed in my course. Students who are angry
often seem to see the instructor as someone who is "out to get them." Letting my
students know that I am on their side, and

It appears that she is... along with other cloned animals.

I think John's advice (per usual) should be well-taken.
To me it seems as though confidentiality is violated only if you have
assured it or implied it. If the colleague is sitting in the presence of
both parties, it is the decision of the student to discuss issues or not

It seems to me that cannot stop the student from screaming but a "screaming
match" takes at least 2 people and you can make certain that you don't allow
yourself to get sucked in.
You simply say "I could flunk you right now for plagiarism. I do not plan

Many thanks to all of you who provided references, suggestions, and
feedback about how students think they're doing compared with how they're
really doing. I am especially intrigued about the connection to
metacognition, and am suggesting that my student follow all of these leads.
Truly, TIPS is
Donald Carter Davis asked about confrontations with volatile students.
Here's my two cents's worth.
Do not tolerate screaming. It is perfectly acceptable -- I would argue it's
your professional responsibility -- for you to insist on a baseline level of
civility in all interactions. Remember, we'r

Depends on how your institution's rules and state's laws are written.

Michael,
I believe one can get a karotype from any somatic cell.
The "extra Y" chromosome theory of criminality has been pretty much
discredited. The only reliable link that has been established according to
what I recall is to a slight increase in height.

John, however sound advice that may be, it violates confidentiality and

While discussing the alleged possible link between the extra Y chromosome
and criminality,a student wanted to know how do they determine if an
individual has an extra chromosome.
Blood test? or wait till death?

Donald: Don't meet with the student alone. Have a colleague with you, or, the
chair of the department. You'll feel safer, less likely to be misquoted, and the
student will get the message that this is serious.

Did Donald Hebb lived in a rat infested house?
And is it true that he adopted some of those rats as his personal pets
and when they died he examined their brains and hence formulated
his idea of cell assemblies?
