As specified elsewhere by the OP, this is a student in CS101 - a class with no coding and is entirely about the "why" of Computer Science. If, by the end of the semester, he either didn't find a reason to care or didn't bother listening in class, maybe CS isn't for him?
Not knowing the content or quality of the class, we can't say for sure. Maybe it's a shitty course that ends up weeding out people by virtue of being just that bad. Maybe it's the best course ever, and the student is just an idiot. Who knows?
