  Case: Student who likes to do work at home
You have assigned your students a group project and are allowing them to work on it in class. One group approaches you and expresses their concern that one of their group members is not working during the allotted class time on the project. This student consistently turns in work on time and has never failed to turn in an assignment. You approach the student and they claim that they like to do their work at home. How do you resolve this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would tell the student that I love that he gets his work done at home and he does it on time, but i would advise that the reason that I give them time in class to work on it is because I want them to work on it in class. There are times when you may have questions and you can ask me then and there. I want to walk around the room and make sure that everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing and if they are not then they will get marked off because the are not participating with the whole group.

Comments: I agree that it's important for the teacher to make it clear why he/she wants them to work on the assignment in class. Incorporating a classroom participation grade into the activity will most likely also have an impact on the student's behavior.

Comments: It takes into consideration that the student likes to do their work at home, but provides a positive response on what the teacher can say to express concern that they are not doing their work in class in an effective matter. It does not tell the student that they can no longer work on the assignments at home nor does it tell the student that they need to only work on the assignments in class.
