  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!)
I would set up a meeting with Brian to hear about why he was late since it wasn't explained in the scenario. Maybe he had a reasonable excuse for being 20 minutes late. For precautions, I would also report the behavior to the office incase Brian needs additional counseling.
