unfocused students

Unfocused students can disrupt the whole synergy of a class. This type of student may need different means to learn and stay focused. Just lecture will put anyone to sleep and make it seem as if they are lacking focus. Sometimes students have outside issues that keep them from concentrating as well.

It is easy to spot the unfocused ones - I try to find out what the issues are early in the class.
I have noticed when instructors don't deal with this - the students who are focused can become very resentful of the unfocused ones - especially in a lab setting.

Hi Gena,
Yes. These students need to be spoken to in order to find out why they are not focused. Students will tell you a lot behind closed doors.
