week 1 continued interaction

how would you suggest interacting with a fellow student like Sheldon Cooper, a fictional character from the TV show Big Bang Theory.

Either as a fellow student and or a teacher.

For students and or teachers, students like Sheldon can be either the best experience with said type of student or the worst. The student is not going to change their personality based on how much they are punished for their “oddities”. The only way to punish a student like Sheldon cooper to quit acting the way they do is to either remove them from the class, school, or remove them entirely. Which has been part of academics since ancient Greece.

My question how would you suggest working and communicating with a student who does not communicate like anyone else you have ever known. Does that student deserve x, y, z, etc. treatment.

What are the ways in which you just assigned definitions for x, y, z, etc.

Most people from different cultural backgrounds immediately formed their own definitions for those variables.

What are those variables, and how best to interact with said student as an instructor.

What would you do with Sheldon Cooper, or Walter Obrien, or Dr House MD, or Dr Shaun Murphy, etc. btw they are all based on real people who struggled absolutely with both academics and the communities they live/d in.

The problems with said type people is, no matter how clear and logical an answer given to them. If the answer is wrong, he and those like him have very little if any filter regarding not saying "sorry but, that answer is incorrect". Having a student do that on a regular if not constant basis, hence the "get out of class".

The aggression does not come from sheldon type people, it comes from fellow students and or the faculty. 

how do you handle a class when after a while the mere presence of someone makes you or those hot heads in the class want to assault the "smart ...." one.

I have exactly one teacher who was not a complete jerk to me in school. She figured out how I learned and customized the lessons to how I learn. The rest of my parochial school, undergrad, and most of my grad school teachers have been torturous events. I graduated high school with a 1.97, not because I lack the brains but because solid and consistent personality issues. I am not a student who will "kneel before zod" type student. I left school at 19 and did not return till I was almost 40. Most of my classes have been pure torture. Minus one and the end result of that class was a nice thing till that teacher turned into an absolute jerk in all ways. He is the one who asked me to leave my previous grad school, after informing me I was not going to be able to pass the classes. The final exchange was "what if I turn in nobel level work", his answer paraphrased "unless you write the answers we want, you will not pass. At this institution students are expected to have a certain level of intuition regarding what we want. Figure out what we want and you pass, miss and you do not. You do not have the capacity to intuit what we want." My school experiences have been a very long string of not that great teachers and or administrations who have extremely unacceptable rules of classroom order. I have also been the victim of a cyber sexual encounter in the classroom. The school backed the perp and the teacher. regarding sheldon, you could not have missed the point of that characters development more if you tried. He did not learn anything about human interactions, he changed his acting behavior patterns but for the most part had no idea why they reacted the way they did. Still had no idea why, but to be around them, he would say x to x given sentences and or they would be behave in x way. They did x they forced him to respond in x way, y = y, z=z, etc. But emotionally he had no understanding of why they demanded he give his x, y, z reactions. But to get along, he figured out his third newton rule. But his neuropathways will never be able to understand why they do x, or why he needs to do x in response. He has simply developed OC's to given stimulations. The base of said is punishment and torture. The question becomes, why would you suggest to someone around you "treat me in x way, or I will punish you till you do". Sheldon types do not intend to hurt your feelings, and they absolutely do not perform assaults. So the violence is from the world to them, not them to the world. But neuro a typicals are punished and tortured till they change their =x patterns to provide power to others. Not a good way to teach. But a great way to be a really not good person. 

In what way did that teacher do good, she figured out what exact ways I needed her to respond and she matched my x, y, z, etc. behaviors with what I needed. Which for neuro a typical people, standard models so do not apply in either way.
