The “C” Student

Part 3

6. EFFORT: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the 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. COMMUNICATION: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhabit matching inquiry and response.

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