A pronoun shift is when you modify the pronoun in the same sentence, then the reader is not able to understand who is the subject of the sentence.
In the exemplified sentence the pronoun inserted incorrectly is <u>they</u>, shifting the initially singular subject "The student" (pronouns he or she) to a plural pronominal form.
When correcting, the writer must evaluate which is the desired pronoun, that fits his subject.:
