This section of the course was very interesting and relevant to what I see on a day to day basis in the class room. I especially like the references to inattentive students, center stage students, and the blaming other students. I find that more and more I have students who are coming directly from high school and because they are younger they sometimes lack the maturity and the soft skills that some of my older students have. The center stage student is always interesting because it can sometimes become a distraction to the task at hand, so I found this particularly useful. Lastly, I find that the blaming others scenario is the hardest to deal with because often this particular behavior is very difficult to change. I find that the learner is set in their ways and can't handle the constructive criticism that is oftened needed to develop and progress in the course. I liked the solutions offered which included the consistent reference to the class calender and syllabus adherement. Helping the learner own responsibilty for their assignments seemed like the most logical approach.
