Types of students Students come in all shapes and sizes. They also bring with them differing attitudes. I observe that at a recent lecture I visited at a local university.

First, there is the absolute hardworker. S/He sits down in the front, in the first couple of rows of the lecture theatre. This student will always be able to answer all the questions the lecturer poses. The absolute perfectionist, the student will usually end up being the lecturer's favourite student.

The next row up will usually be occupied by the stressed international students. These students, under the pressure of family finance, will try the do their best in their attempt to justify to their families their dues for financial support.

The last row of the lecture theatre will usually be occupied by the students who could be the gifted, smartest and laziest students in the entire room. They care enough to attend the lecture but not enough to avoid napping in class.

In between, there are the assortments of part time students who wants to do well but may not have the time to commit to such tasks.  ¶ 1:47 AM
