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 consistent 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. Preparations:
“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 friend on Facebook, or
send tweets to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete
academic. They are short-sighted because they can’t see the long range
destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
