Dealing with the challenging students has been always rewarding for me because I feel very satisfied once my challenging student start focusing on his academic goals like my regular students. My way to deal with challenging is as below: 1. Talk to them separately outside the class room 2. Try my level best to address their concern 3. If their excuse is legitimate then give them another chance 4. First of all I highlight their positive aspects or strengths and then address their negative behavior. 5. I belief that instructor's role should always be encouraging not humiliating.
