Successful student can be distinguished from the average students by their behaviors and attitudes.  Below are some profiles that distinguish between and “A” student and a “C” student. Where do you fit in this scheme?

The “A” student- An Outstanding Student

1.       ATTENDENCE: “A” students have virtually perfect attendance. Their commitment to the class is of high priority and exceeds other temptation

2.       PREPERATIONS: A students are prepared for class. They always read the assignment. Their attention to details is such that they occasionally can elaborate on class examples.

3.       CURIOSITY:  A student’s demonstrate interest in the class and the subject. They look up or dig up what they don’t understand. They often ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.

4.       RETENTION; A students have retentive minds and practice making retentive connections.  They are able to connect past learning with present learning. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their classes. They focus of learning concepts rather than of memorizing details
