How do I handle an anxious student or one that needs motivation?
It is important to address this as soon as possible and in a direct, but kind way. Talk about the behavior you have seen and how you interpret it. Listen to what the student says, or doesn’t say and allow time for the student to reflect on your observations. Next work with the student to develop a definite plan with specific goals. Remember that the faculty member of the course is a resource and should be aware of your concerns.
