Secret of successful students

It’s a matter of taking charge of your time and destiny

Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful student take charge of their own success.

There is no magic trick, powder drink, or special class that makes a student excel in the classroom. A student stands out because they take charge of their time and their task, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful students control their calendars. Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are  due or when test dates are approaching. They mark special dates in their calendars and keep track of commitments and schedules.

Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives

Successful students priorities do you like to say out late with their friends? Do you like to go to parties? Do you like to watch tv or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?

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 very little effort. They don’t realize that they will


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


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

what i learned from this was that dont ever do something else i will never go a different way or i might get lost or get caught doing the wrong


If he would have chosen the right he would have been ok and nothing bad would have happened but he chose the wrong so he took a different way. Now that he chose the wrong the costa Concordia was flip to its side and luckily no one was hurt but he did something he wasn’t supposed to. Another thing he did wrong was he left first than anyone. The captains supposed to stay until the end.

The “C” Student an Average Student
Part 1
Source: The teaching professor. paraphrased form John H. Williams , clarifying grade Expectations , August/September ,1993 and Paul Solomon and Annette Nellon , communicating about the behavioral dimensions of grades , February ,1996.

1.      ATTENDANCE:”C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put other priorities ahead of academic work. In some cases, their health or constant fatigue render them physically unable to keep up with the demands of higher level performance. They think it’s cool to be tardy because it makes them think they are big shots. Skipping class is another downfall for the “C” and failing students
2.      PREPARATION: “C” students may prepare their assignment consistently, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times, its incomplete or late. They postpone doing home assignments in order to text friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweets to some of the followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short sighted because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking shortcut. They never pay off.

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 and a “C” student. Where do you fit in this scheme?

The ”A” student – an outstanding student

1.    Attendance: “A” students have virtually perfect attendance. Their commitment to the class is a high priority and exceeds other temptations.

3.    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.

4.    Retention: “A” students have retentive minds and practiced 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.
