Angry students
Listening to angry students is definitely a must.I have encountered students who are angry at the world, not at what just set them off. By listening you are more aware of what they are capable of doing. Also, when they want to vent, they come to you, not another student who might become uneasy speaking to him. Usually their vent has happened to you and you can make light of it and let them know how you handled it or let them know there are more important things to focus on.
Hi Fernando,
Some students will take out their anger on you. You have them let them know that you will not tolerate this type of behavior and why. Nip this in the bud.

I also have had a student come angry to class. He started by calling me a bad instructor because he wasn't understanding the lesson. I tried to help and explain the lesson to him again, all the class understood the lesson but him. Later I found out the he had had a bad day at work and was taking it out on me. I did not let this get the best of me and was able to re-teach him. He was then able to learn the lesson after he got over his anger.
