Behavioral Dimensions 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 commitendent 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 details
is such that they occasionally can elaborate on class examples.
3. CUROISTY: “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” student has 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.
