The student that is noisy can be handled by having them stay busy. If they provide a response to a discussion board assignment, I will ask additional questions and request they document their responses. Usually if they do not will repeat the response, and as they research and document their answers I may change the facts and ask additional questions and request the student to support the follow up response with scholarly sources.
Marshall,
Redirecting the energy to more positive output is a great strategy. Very good.
