A student profiles part 1

Source: the teaching professor. Paraphrased from john h. William, clarifying grade expectations, august/September, 1993 and Paul Solomon and Annette Nellon, communicating about the behavioral dimension of grades, February, 1996

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.

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

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.
