The “C” student an average Student


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 classes frequently. They put other priorities ahead of academic work. In some classes, their health or constant fatigue renders them physically unable to keep up with demands of High-level performance. They think it is ‘cool’ to be tardy because it makes think they are big shots. Skipping classes down fall 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 Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short – sighted because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
