The “C” Student

Part 3

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 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. Communications: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/ reading habits inhibit matching inquiry and response

8. Results: “C” students obtain mediocre or consistent results on test. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.
