expectations, august/September, 1993 and Paul Solomon and Annette Nellon, Communicating
About the Behavioral dimensions of grade, February, 1996.

ATTENDENCE:
“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 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
cant see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
