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 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 or on Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers. They take
shortcuts to complete academic work . they are short- sighted because they cant
see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
