Student characteristics can be seen as the way students learn, understand what they have been taught and also how they interact with their environment.
Students' emotions affect their learning process, such as their feelings, courage, confidence, etc. improve their learning process.
It also known as a way teachers create a better learning environment for the students to learn because environment too matters in the life of a students.
It also a way teachers can observe students behaviour the good and the bad ones, check their notes wether it is up to date, And also teachers to can know the weaknesses of their students in terms of understanding what and what they have been taught, it is also a way for teachers to build strong relationships with their students.
It is also a way teachers can use to gather information about the students, to know their problem in terms of learning styles and also it terms of understanding and also in terms of how are they been taught the subject.
It is also important for teachers to develop a learning plans for the students because it also helps them, give them a better classroom for a better learning to take place and also encourage them those who feel school is a stress and also for those who feel school is a scam.
Students' physical abilities affect their teaching, a physically healthy student may be more focused on studies, but a sick student cannot focus on his studies because of his health conditions.

I invited my friend a female friend of mine which are name is blessing, and she gave me her own way of recognising student characteristics are they are Questionnaire.
Do you prefer to learn through some drawings images or text.
Do you like to listen to lectures or watch videos
Do you prefer to learn through hand made activities or reading.
Do you prefer to pay attentive to your teachers or playing.
Do you prefer to learn how to type in the keyboard or playing with the system.
Do you prefer to learn how to solve your problem by knowing the meaning of some grammar that you see on your text books or You like to jump it each time you see it.
I observed blessing with the students characteristics she gave, blessing prefer to use drawing diagrams to study she say it makes her understand very fast.
Blessing say she love watching videos because she will watch deep about the topics and also learn more about it and each time she didn't understand she will repeat the video.
Blessing say she loves using her hands to learn because it makes her type fast in terms of typing in the computer.
I selected one of my students for observation. And the results I got are presented below:-
The students were very attentive to studies, since I teach the computer science to my students, attention is very important to learn and to know what you have been correctly. she was very attentive and also a question types in the class, she ask questions each time she didn't understand.
I have seen a good interest in my students in learning the Keyboard as a topic in computer science and they way they are saying it gives me joy because my efforts on them is not a waste at all.
I teach them how to solve their problems when it gets to grammar and also when they see a big words that they can't pronounce they should check the meaning of it and try to pronounce it, and also I gave them a task as assignments group by group that were difficult but they try their best to solve it.

They are under the emotional characteristics because of their fear to failure in the sense that they get scared each time they didn't meet up to their expectations.
They don't think they can achieve good results, their Problems increase when they have a high expectations in the family or society.
How to support such students is that always encourages them, give them a safe and supportive learning environment, and also give them open communication.
Building student confidence, encourage students if they do badly, teach them more about the topics, show them where they fail and also do corrections for them and encouraging them to do better later.
Always know their weaknesses in other for you to know where you will start from when you want to encourage them, and also advise them to meet their school counsellor each time they didn't understand what is happening in the schools environment.
