1.           Attendance: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put others 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 down fall for the “C” and failing students.

2.           Preparation: ”C” student may 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 assignments in order to next 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 taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
