I teach in a community college and once in a while I have one or two students that spend some of their time talking too much during class. I know this is college level and you can ask them to leave the class if they don't want to be quiet. But, what would you do so they stop chatting? Thanks.

The class was a Criminal Justice class, and the big football player brought a lot of "justice"to the class.
