The supervisor on a course should not try to handle enturbulative students on a course. The vast majority of students are willing, eager to learn and just get on with it. Normal student difficulties in a well run course are easily handled by misunderstood word technology.

Send any enturbulative student either to review (the Qual examiner) for correction (but only if he says he wants a review) or to the ethics officer for ethics action. Note — the policy on ethics handling of students and gradient of ethics will be on the checksheet.

They should be returned to you when properly straightened up.

Failure to do this will invariably cause a complete disruption of your course and you to fail as a supervisor. Don’t neglect it. Get them off the course fast. Not to do so is to penalize the good students without helping the enturbulative ones either. Omission of this action betrays the whole class.
