When a student lacks interest in a class, it negatively impacts their behavior, grades, relationships, and commitment. The student finds it difficult to focus in class and thinks about unrelated topics. Their behavior becomes negative, which is reflected in poor grades. They feel no connection to the subject matter, professor, or classmates. The student does not commit to assignments as if they do not care about the class. For example, the student dislikes math but recognizes it is an important subject used daily. To pass, the student needs to focus on understanding the material and may need a tutor. The student knows they want to accomplish goals in life and will make sacrifices, like putting in work to pass uninteresting classes, to achieve their goals.
