Abstract

This case series, labeled A through D, UVA-PHA-0018, UVA-PHA-0019, UVA-PHA-0020, and UVA-PHA-0023, allows the reader to see three vignettes as handled by two different instructors. The B case describes how instructor Rick Hartman deals with the student described in the A case. In class, this same student tries to dominate the discussion, taking it far afield of the plan and focus that Hartman had hoped to develop. He is left wondering how to handle the situation.
