How should an instructor deal with a difficult student?

  1. LEAVE - Leave alone, Establish authority, Advise, Validate, Engage

  2. LEAST - Leave alone, Eye contact, Action steps, Stops the class, Terminate

  3. LAST - Listen, Ask, Solve, Tell

  4. EAST - Engage, Ask, Solve, Terminate

The correct answer is: LEAST - Leave alone, Eye contact, Action steps, Stops the class, Terminate

An instructor should not leave a difficult student alone, as this may only escalate the situation. Additionally, terminating the student from the class should be a last resort. Instead, the instructor should first try to establish authority and make eye contact to address the difficult behavior. It may also be helpful to have a plan of action, such as setting clear boundaries and expectations for the student, and finding ways to engage them in the learning process.
