Human Factors
During flight training; the student pilot flared aggressively resulting in the airplane being 4 or 5 ft. above the Runway at low speed with flaps fully extended. I told the student to go around. He delayed but added full power after a second or two. He then raised the nose abruptly resulting in an immediate stall warning. I attempted to lower the nose but the student remained on the controls and continued to pull back. As a result; I was unable to reduce the angle of attack. The airplane stalled and began to roll and yaw to the left. The airplane was only a few ft. above the Runway. The student released the controls but the aircraft was stalled and had no control effectiveness. I reduce the thrust to idle to arrest the incipient spin and the airplane landed on the left main landing gear. It was not a hard landing but the airplane continued to roll to the left. The left wingtip contacted the Runway surface. We were then at about a 45 degree angle to the Runway Centerline and exited the Runway into the grass. I regained directional control and brought the airplane to a stop.There were no injuries. As of this writing; the only damage I am aware of is a cracked and broken plastic wing tip and some slightly bent aluminum at the left wing tip. Mechanics are inspecting the airplane now.
C172 Flight Instructor reported student improperly attempted landing; lost control; which resulted in runway excursion and aircraft damage.
