the "c" student an average student part 1


The “c” student an average student part 1

Source: the teaching professor. Paraphrased from John H Williams, clarifying Grade Expectations, August/September, 1993 and Paul Solomon and Annette Nellon, Communicating about the Behavioral Dimensions of grades, February, 1996.

1. ATTENDANCE: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put others priorities ahead of academic work. In some cases, their health or constant fatigue renders them physically unable to keep up with the demands of high-level performance. They think it is ‘cool’ to be tardy because it makes them think they are big shots. Skipping class is another downfall for the “C” and failing students.    

2. PREPARATION: ‘C’ students may prepare their assignments consistently, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times, it is incomplete or late. They postpone doing home assignments in order to text friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweet to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete  acedmic work. They are short sided because they cant see long range destruction of taking short cuts. It never pays off.
