The “C” Student
An Average Student
Part 1

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 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 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 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.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
