In Wilbert Mckeachie and Marilla Svinicki’s book, they described four type of
challenging students. The first type is called the attention-seeking, discussion-
dominating students. These are the students who always make themselves heard
in discussion, frequently expressing their ideas and opinions whether or not there
is substance to what they are saying. The second type is the inattentive students.
They are those who constantly check their mobile phones, chat with their
classmates, or daydream. They are generally distracted with other tasks, so they
fail to pay attention to what is being discussed by the teacher. The third type is the
unprepared students. They constantly go to class without doing their assignments,
without studying for quizzes and without practicing for scheduled presentation.
The fourth and final type is the uncivil and disrespectful students. These are the
