Part 1

Professor.
Paraphrased from John H. Williams, clarifying Grade Expectations,
August/September, 1993 and Paul Solomon and Annette Nellon, Communicating About
the Behavioral Dimensions, February, 1996.
Successful students
can be distinguished from the average student by their attitudes and behaviors.
Below are some profiles that typically distinguished between an “A” student and
a “C” student. Where do you fit in this class?
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 assignments. 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 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.
CHOOSE the RIGHT!!!
