  Case: Angry student
While passing out grades on a recent assignment, Evan approaches you, obviously angry about the grade he received. He feels that the grade was unfair and biased. While telling you this, his voice raises and he repeatedly hits his fist against the table between you. The rest of the class is visibly concerned. What should you do to manage this behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Express to Evan that after class you can sit down and discuss the grade with him but now is not the time. I would try to calm him down as best as possible. Once you are able to do so; call administration to come help manage the situation. Any time a student is agressive towards the teacher it is always best to let administration handle the situation so that it does not escalate and blow up even further.
