1. Attendance: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put oher priorities ahead of academic work. In some cases their health or constant fatigues 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 a big shots. Skipping class Is another downfall for the C Student.

2.  Preparation: “C” students may prepare their assignments constantly, 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 at facebook or send tweets to their followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short assigned because they cant see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It ever pays off.
