Case Study 2A
Managing the Classroom-Disruptive Students
Mr. Rivera has been teaching for 5 years in a face-to-face classroom. He recently taught his first course online and was surprised that a few of the students were disrespectful to each other in the discussion boards. He had not encountered this issue in his face-to-face classes. As he prepares for his next online class, he is trying to determine how best to approach the issue of disrespectful students.
1. Why might students in an online classroom exhibit behaviors that differ from a face-to-face classroom?
2. What other disruptive behaviors might be encountered in an online course? What disruptive behaviors might occur in a face-to-face course?
3. What suggestions do you have for Mr. Rivera as he prepares for his next online course?
4. Develop a list of rules for online etiquette that you would expect from your online students.
Case Study 2B
Managing the Classroom- Low Performing Students
Dr. Jones is in her first year of teaching at a four-year university. She primarily teaches undergraduate psychology majors, and her main courses include psychological well-being, lifespan development, and psychology of aging. The psychological well-being class is a 200-level course that students can take with only introductory psychology as a pre-requisite. While students seem to enjoy the course, half of the students in the class have demonstrated difficulty with writing assignments. For example, the students are unfamiliar with APA format and do not seem to know how to locate appropriate references for the assignments. She has also noticed that many students have difficulty with writing assignments in the 300-level courses that she teaches.
1. Why might Dr. Jones’ students have difficult with writing assignments?
2. What resources are available to help students with APA format?
3. What resources are available to help students locate peer-reviewed resources?
4. Develop a plan that Dr. Jones can implement that will help her students with writing.
