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.
