Successful students can be distinguished from the average student by their attitudes and behaviors. Below are some profiles that typically distinguish between “A” student and a “C” student.

The “A” student – an outstanding student

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

2.    PREOARATION:”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 practice making retentive connections. They are able to connect past learning with present. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their classes. They focus on learning concepts rather than memorizing details.
