The “C”
Student An Average Student

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 other 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 assignment 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 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.

THE RIGHT!!!
