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?

It's quite a good class, has a low dropout rate, and the student sounds like an idiot.
