This has only happened to me with grad students, and that's a little different, since it's usually something they've already dealt with -- plus they usually come right out and say it in office hours. I don't know if I'd handle it well with one of our undergrads, other than passing on info about campus resources. Do you know what you're going to do/say?<BR/><BR/>And on a very light note, I love "Frontiers." LOL.

Woah. <BR/><BR/>I thanked the student for being so open with this information and said that I was grateful the class atmosphere was open and generative enough to allow for such a revelation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
