Question 2 of 30

Describe a time you had a challenging student. How did you resolve the problem?

"Three years ago, I had a student who would not do what was asked of him in the class. He wanted to do his own thing. Once, he even lashed out at me. I pulled him aside after class and talked through my expectations again. I told him Computer Science was a privilege. If he wanted to stay, he would have to live up to expectations. It did not work out in the end, but I handled the situation in this way."
