students who don't seem to study and do so well

[italy]

I started level one at the end of january of this year. it's been only a few weeks since school has started and there is this one girl who is in my class. she's always late to school and has been absent twice already. she also sleeps during the lab times. i know the professors told her not to be absent anymore because absences are important. the other day, we had an exam for one of the level 1 classes and she was in class but she spoke to the professor and allowed her to take the test another time. everyone knew she wasn't ready for the exam so she told the professor something. everyone says it's unfair as to how she took a spot for someone who really may have wanted it. recently, we had validations and she never ever practiced in the labs, yet she passed. i thought it was unfair. sure, she may be smart, but all of us try so hard and yet she seems to just pass with flying colors.

Talvarez- have you ever figured out what type of learner you are? I am definately more visual than auditory. I have to see it (or read it) and I have pretty good photographic memory. So when I get test questions, I can visualize where I read that question idea in my textbooks. So listening during lecture is utterly worthless with how I learn... won't remember a thing (unless its repeated a billion times lol). See what works for you!

I am equally visual and auditory. Primarily kinesthetic and reading was my lowest score. But when I am testing and read a question I will visually see where I saw it or replay my teacher saying it in my head.
