After reading Luck's article I tried to find some more info about different types of students. And while surfing the Inet I came across one funny classification. Trying to translate it, not loosing irony and sarcasm)))
Types of students.
The first. Always the first. Heroic student.
Knows everything! Writes all the lectures with stenographer's exactness. Always ready for all the seminars, writes a great deal of essays and articles. Teacher's pets.
The second. Diligent student.
Never first, but among the best. Quite quiet)) does his homework and gets good marks. Irritates nobody. A kind of happy medium among other types of students.
The third. Aggressive student.
Absolutely sure that attack is the best method of defence. Insists on his rights vigorously. Is always ready to argue with his teacher, his examiner and his dean.
The forth. Student - image-maker.
Adds only some phrases during all the seminars but shows his extreme interest and outstanding desire to learn everything (of course it's far from reality). Can know nothing but be teacher's pet because of his gab.
The fifth. Banal B-student.
The representative of majority of students. Studies and plays truant within reasonable limits.
The sixth. Creative moocher.
Can be easily recognized because of his long-long “tails”. Quite creative, talented and gifted but spends his talents on hobby, ignoring studies. During Exam-period has to collect his strength and resourcefulness.
The seventh. Prosaic moocher.
Poor efficiency of thinking. Minimum interest, minimum creativity, minimum activity. Achiever in writing cribs. Well, to tell the truth I can recognize a lot of my friends among these types. And you?
