Questions 1 through 5. Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
M: Excuse me, Dr. Kilmer. Do you have a minute?
W: Hello. Darren. Come on in. have a seat. What can I do for you?
M: Well, it’s about my midterm grade for organizational psychology. I ... I'm surprised it’s so ... low. I felt like I’ve been working pretty hard in this class.
W: I see. Well, let’s go back and have another look at each of your assignments ... here we go. OK, I’ve pulled up your record. Hmm ... you had a ”C” on the midterm exam and a ”B” on your first assignment.
M: Yeah, that was the paper about the interview. I talked to a woman at a bio-research firm.
W: Yes, I remember that paper. You must have learned some useful things. But unfortunately, Darren, I don’t have any record here for the second and third assignments. They were due on October 1st and the 13th.
M: I know ... but I’ve been sort of busy. My younger brother’s starting classes here in January, and I have to show him around and help him find a place to live. He's staying with me for now, but he doesn’t have a car, so I have to drive him.
W: Can't your brother take the bus some of the time? After all, your coursework should be your priority.
M: Uh, it’s really hard. He is my brother, and he’s had some problems in the past. My parents want me to help him get settled. They live two thousand miles away.
W: I see. That does make it tough.
M: I’d like to ... Would it be all right if I made up those two papers? I started the first one, but I just didn’t get everything typed up.
W: Yes, of course you can make up the work, but it would be best if you did that as soon as possible. Remember, these short papers, together with the long term paper, count for 50 percent of your final grade.
M: I know. And I need my final grade to be better than my midterm grade. Don’t worry. I'll get it together. I really like this class ... I just have to get more organized.
W: Well, good luck. Darren. I’m glad you came to talk to me.
M: Thanks, Dr. Kilmer. I appreciate your time.
