1. “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 renders them physically unable to keep up with the demands of high-level performance. They think it’s “cool” to be tardy because it makes them look like big shots. Skipping class is another downfall for the “c” and failing student

2. Preparation: “c” students may prepare for their assignments consistently, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times, it is incomplete or late. They postpone doing home assignments in the order of text friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers on Twitter. They take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short-singed because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
