1. ATTENDANCE:”C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put other priority 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” average 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 homework in order to text with friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic assignments. They are short sighted because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking short cuts. IT NEVER PAYS OFF.
