Part 2

 

CURIOSITY: “C” students seldom explore topics deeper than their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concepts. Immediate relevancy is often their singular test for involvement.

3. RETENTION: “C” students retain lees information and for shorter periods. Less effort seems to go toward organizing and associating learned information with previously acquired knowledge. They display short-term retention by relying on cramming sessions that focus on details, but not concepts.

4. ATTITUDE: “C” students are not visibly committed to class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses boredom.

5. TALENT: “C” students vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable sign of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.

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. PREPERATION: “C” students may prepare their assignments constantly, 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.

Successful students can be distinguished from the average student by their attitudes and behaviors. Below are some profiles that typically distinguish between an “A” student and a “C” student. Where do you fit in this scheme?

   The “A” Student – An Outstanding Student

1.ATTENDENCE:”A” students have virtually perfect attendance. Their commitment to the class is a high priority and exceeds other temptations.

2.PREPARATION: “A” students are prepared for class. They always read the assignment. Their attention to details is such that they occasionally can elaborate on class examples.

3.CURIOSITY: “A” students demonstrate interest in the class and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don’t understand. They often ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.

4. RETENTION: “A” students have retentive minds and practice making retentive connections. They are able to connect past learning with the present. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their classes. They focus on learning concepts rather the memorizing details.
