In C level work intellectual standards are applied to elements of reasoning though there may be regular lapses in the consistency and appropriateness in how this is done. For example, C level work sometimes analyzes issues clearly and precisely, formulates information clearly, distinguishes the relevant from the irrelevant and shows a sporadic tendency to reason carefully. C level work may reflect a student going through the motions of the assignment without much effort.
