How can an instructor manage a disagreeable student?

  1. Ignoring the student

  2. Asking them to leave

  3. Summarizing their viewpoint and asking others for their viewpoints and opinions

  4. Direct confrontation

The correct answer is: Summarizing their viewpoint and asking others for their viewpoints and opinions

An instructor shouldn't ignore a disagreeable student, as this can make the situation worse and make the student feel unheard. Asking them to leave may be necessary in extreme cases, but should not be the first option. Direct confrontation can escalate the situation and may not be productive. Summarizing their viewpoint and asking others for their viewpoints and opinions allows the instructor to address the issue while also involving others and potentially finding a resolution or compromise. This approach also shows empathy and respect towards the student's perspective.
