Hey, all. How do you guys deal with classmates/study group members who are really downers, but blame their grades on everything but what THEY are doing? I have 1 or 2 in my study group, they both are getting grades on tests around 60-75%, but seem to blame wording of questions/topics not covered on outlines/etc rather than blame themselves for not studying(which they admit to). One's not too bad, and a bit of a youngun, at 21, and knows she can do better and will (she's really close to the pass mark--which is 80%). The other is so far below passing I wonder if he's going to drop by tomorrow. He's gotten grades around 60% average. Says he's working full-time, kid on the way, 4 hours sleep, etc. etc. And I'm thinking, you still have to study, else you Can't pass! I'm just staying positive and ready to go....got a 92% on my nursing process test today!! WHOOT!
(that's how I felt when I saw my grade!!)
