When I encounter a disruptive student I will as a question on our study subject, not to belittle or humiliate, but attempt to have the learner engage and show they are a valuable contributor to the learning. Just trying to reel them in before any discipiline measures need to be taken.

I frequently have to deal with cheating or the possibility of it. This module has given me some good tips/insights in how to tackle this problem in the future.
To allow frustrated students the moment to just vent to you their frustration prior to getting your point across. It could all just be a misunderstanding.
It's interesting to learn about so many different techiques on stopping cheating and dealing with cheaters. It's also informative to learn about how to spot and remove diffcult students that can cause problems for you and other students.
Always listen then react. Allow students who are angry to explain why and take part of the solution, if a solution is even possible. Give time for the situation to diffuse but acknowledge their concern
I like the idea of not having to give a final exam. I know when I was in college and had to take a final, I would get so nervous that I would break out in hives and forget everthing I studied. The like the idea of giving a series of smaller tests. I would have them visit a lab school to observe the skill they learned in action. Then, give a test with only 5 short answer questions. Many students learn by hands-on experiences rather than reading and lecture.
