Student success statement


Student success statement

“your name is a diamond; make sure it shines”.

Sergio Tovalin

(hphs 2009)

If you do not a name no body know you. Your name is more important, because your name represent you.

6. Effort: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the needed to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort=bad results.

7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habit matching inquiry and response.

8. RESULTS: “C” students obtain mediocre or inconsistent result on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not master the material…

Cruise captain violates honor Code and the law.


Cruise captain violates honor

Code and the law.

Summary: While in a cruise captain Francesco Schettino decided to drive the boat to close to the land which turn into a disaster. He violated an honor code. He was in the Tuscan coast. The ship started to sink and with him being selfish and just thinking about himself he got off the boat and fled the scene. Many people died including young children. Many people also escaped but were scared and now have a bad experience and a bad memory about being on a cruise.

 

The captain choose the wrong because he was driving the boat to close to land and he was risking the life of the passengers.

He also choose the wrong because he abandoned the boat!!!

CURIOSITY: “C” students seldom explore topics deeper than their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concepts. Immediate relevancy is often their singular test for involvement.
3. RETENTION: “C” students retain less information for shorter periods. Less often seems to go to organizing and associating learned information with previously acquired knowledge. They display the short-term retention by relying on cramming sessions that focus on details, not concepts.
4. ATTITUDE: “C” students are not visibly committed to class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses boredom.
5. TALENT: “C” students vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.

1. ATTENDANCE: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put other priority 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 is “cool” to be tardy because it makes them think they are big shots. Skipping class is another downfall for the “C” average student.

PREPARATION: “C” students may prepare their assignments constantly, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times it is incomplete or late. They postpone homework in order to text with friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic assignments. They are short sighted because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking short cuts. IT NEVER PAYS OFF.

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?

1. Attendance: ”a” students have virtually perfect attendance,. Their commitment to the class in a high priority and exceeds other temptations.  

2.Preparation; “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” student demonstrate interest in the class and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don’t understand. They often ask interesting question or make thoughtful comments.

4. Retention: “a” students have 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 them memorizing details.
