the c students


The “C” Student

6. EFFORT: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack of desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort =bad results.

7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not fell formulated before they are expressed. Poor Listening/Reading habits inhibit matching inquiry response.

8. RESULTS: “C” students maintain mediocre or inconsistent results on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly they have not mastered the material.
