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

The “A” student-an outstanding student  

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

2. RETENTION: “A” students are prepared for class. They always read the assignments. Their attentions to detail are such that they occasionally can elaborate on their classes’ examples.

3. CURRIOSITY: “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 questions.

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 classmates. They focus on learning concepts rather then memorizing details.
