Successful Student V/s Average Student...where you stand.....
Successful students can be distinguished from the Average student
by their Attitudes and Behaviors.
Below are some profiles that typically distinguish between an
"A" student (Successful)
"C" student (Average) .
Where do you fit yourself in this?
ATTENDANCE: "A" students will always give 100% perfect attendance.
Their commitment to the class is a high priority and exceeds other temptations.
PREPARATION: "A" students are well prepared for class.
They always read the assignment before they enter into the class. Their
attention to detail is such that they occasionally can elaborate on class
examples. So contents become friendly.
CURIOSITY: "A" students demonstrate interest in the class
and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don't understand. They often
ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.
RETENTION: "A" students have retentive minds and practice
making retentive connections. They are able to connect past learning with the
present. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their classes. They
focus on learning concepts rather than memorizing details.
ATTITUDE: "A" students have a winning attitude. They have
both the determination and the self-discipline necessary for success. They show
initiative. They do things they have not been told to do.
TALENT: "A" students demonstrate a special talent. It may
be exceptional intelligence and insight. It may be unusual creativity,
organizational skills, commitment - or a some combination. These gifts are
evident to the teacher and usually to the other students as well.
EFFORT: "A" students match their effort to the demands of
an assignment.
COMMUNICATIONS: "A" students place a high priority on
writing and speaking in a manner that conveys clarity and thoughtful
organization. Attention is paid to conciseness and completeness.
RESULTS: "A" students make high grades on tests - usually
the highest in the class. Their work is a pleasure to grade.
ATTENDANCE: "C" students are often late and miss class
frequently. They put other priorities ahead of academic work.
PREPARATION: "C" students may prepare their assignments
consistently, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or
careless. At times, it is incomplete or late.
CURIOSITY: "C" students seldom explore topics deeper than
their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concepts.
Immediate relevancy is often their singular test for involvement.
RETENTION: "C" students retain less information and for
shorter periods. Less effort seems to go toward organizing and associating
learned information with previously acquired knowledge. No revision work. They
display short-term retention on current sessions that focus on details, not concepts.
ATTITUDE: "C" students are not visibly committed to
class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses
boredom.
TALENT: "C" students vary enormously in talent. Some have
exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad
attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.
EFFORT: "C" students are capable of sufficient effort,
but either fail
to make and evaluate effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge.
The best students work not just on the subjects, but on time
management, organization, note taking, active reading and focus. The good news
is that you can work on habits.
