One of those students
I’m assuming this is a type of student because I’ve had them multiple times before.
Yknow, the one that has to comment on EVERYTHING. Initially they do it with their hand up under the guise of contributing to the class, “oh we did that in my family’s firm too”…. Then they just start blurting shit out over the person who’s talking.
Sometimes it’s the exact thing you just said followed by an “oh yeah that’s right” or something.
When you have other students presenting and they want to talk through their presentation.
She does it in normal conversations too. With everyone, not just me. It’s 100% some kind of insecurity.
My question; should I tell this person? She’s 20, so very good chance nobody has ever said that it’s absolutely annoying. I control it in class obviously to keep other students from being distracted but I truly don’t think she realizes it annoys the fuck out of anyone who talks to her. Other professors have even made this note who haven’t taught her yet.
Otherwise she’s really a bright person and has a great future if she can get a handle on this. Do I say something, or just let her figure it out one day?
Edit: I do agree this may be adhd related, and I do appreciate those reminding me of this. I also have Audhd and want to be clear I don’t think this makes her a bad person or anything, but rather questioning is it my place to point this out so she can improve in a professional setting. Thanks for all the advice so far!
