1. ATTENDANCE: “C” student 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 “C” and failing student.     

2. PREPARATION: “C” students may prepare their assignment consistently, but often in a prepare their assignment 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 assignment 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 t6alking shortcut. It never pays off.
