Case: 20 minutes late, no exam for you
Brian is a student in your Monday class. He is furious that you won't let him take an exam because he showed up 20 minutes late. He throws down his textbooks, knocks over a desk, and yells at you, "This ain't over!" before storming out of the class. You report the incident to office. Through the grapevine, you hear that the student had been sent to the Counseling Center, but you don't know the results of the intervention. The next day, you are shocked to see Brian walk into class and sit down in the front row. He stares daggers at you the entire class. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
After class I would pull Brian aside and explain to him the policy of coming to class on time. It is important to be consistent and if your policy says you will not be able to take the exam if you're late, then you need to stick to it. Tell Brian that his behavior was not acceptable but you would like to give him another chance because you know the potential he has. Explain to him that if he shows up to class on time and keeps his behavior in check then he will always be able to take the exam. |

| Comments: I agree. Reinforcing the policy regarding tardiness and exams will help validate your reason for not allowing it. Also, advising him that he is always welcome to take the exam if he is on time is crucial. I also like that you included advising him you know he has potential. |

| Comments: Talking to him about the policy should help motivate him to never make this mistake again, and should help stress how important it is to come to class on time. |
