Don,
Good points. It's unfortunate that some students feel the need to prey on observed or perceived weaker areas. I suppose they feel that'll give them some sort of edge. But I remind new instructors I train that "you are the professional, the one with the superior knowledge, experience and insight into the work setting". Along with that is the sentiment that they are there for their students, it's not about them (other than to be in control of their class).
