You don't want to ask the student not to answer because he is the type of student who if you did that he would probably find some other way to be disruptive and then he wouldn't be paying attention at all. Plus, chances are that if he were not yelling out the answers, no one else would have. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) While it is important to encourage students to participate in class having a student who calls out can be disruptive and decreases other student's motivation to participate. I would suggest using chips or some other token. Each student would receive 2-3 chips/tokens (also depending on how many students and how many questions are on the test) that would indicate to the student how many questions they could answer. Then when a student answers a question they would place one of their chips into a basket or container. This would decrease the number of student call-outs and encourage other students to participate as well.
