a. ineffective, because it is a distraction to the students, who will likely be focusing on his words rather than what they are supposed to be doing.

c. effective, because it helps build positive feelings among class members.
d. effective, because it is a means of praising compliant students while redirecting behavior of students who aren't prompt in following instructions.
