  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!)
Acknowledge his emotions and ask him to please see you at your desk. Explain to him you understand his frustration however this is not how you react. Then ask him to see you after class so you both can review the test together.
