a) the case study: MJ and HS

Somewhat controlling, somewhat perfectionistic; prone to paralysis or procrastination; may be uncomfortable working independently; may be prone to blaming others. . . will fail to do their homework for whatever reason, and then, when your class plan falls through because they are not prepared, will try to take over the class. Class will become extremely difficult and slow-paced; may grind to a halt, student may be resistant. You may feel blamed for the pace of the course.

The trick is to hand the student the ball. Make sure he or she is confronted with how little homework he or she is doing. Have a good plan and ensure that the student follows it. Do not allow him or her to take over; he or she does not actually know how to manage the class, and will become more frustrated rather than less frustrated with time.
