Conversation 1
Narrator
Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
Student
So Professor Tibets, your notes said that you want to see me about my
heavy-weight paper. I have to say that grade wasn’t what I was expecting. I
thought I’d done a pretty good job.
Professor
Oh, you did. But do you really want to settle for pretty good when you can do
something very good?
Student
You think it can be very good?
Professor
Absolutely!
Student
Would that mean you’d…I could get a better grade?
Professor
Oh, sorry! It’s not for your grade. It's…I think you could learn a lot by revising it.
Student
You mean, rewrite the whole thing? I really swamped. There’re deadlines
wherever I turn and… and I don’t really know how much time I could give it.
Professor
Well, it is a busy time, with spring break coming up next week. It’s your call.
But I think with all a little extra effort, you could really turn this into a fine essay.
Student
No… yeah…I mean, after I read your comments, I...I can see how it tries to do
too much.
Professor
Yeah. It’s just too ambitious for the scope of the assignment.
Student
So I should cut out the historical part?
Professor
Yes. I would just stick to the topic. Anything unrelated to the use of nature
EMITRY has no place in the paper. All that tangential material just distracted
from the main argument.
Student
Yeah, I never know how much to include. You know…where to draw the line?
Professor
Tell me about it! All writers struggled without one. But it’s something you can
learn. That will become more clear with practice. But I think if you just cut out
the…emm…
Student
The stuff about history, but if I cut out those sections, won’t it be too short?
Professor
Well, better a short well-structured paper than a long paper that
poorly-structured and wanders off topic.
Student
So all I have to do is to leave those sections?
Professor
Well, not so fast. After you cut out those sections, you’ll have to go back and
revise the rest, to see how it all fits together. And of course, you’ll have to
revise the introduction too, to accurately describe what you do in the body of
the paper. But that shouldn’t be too difficult. Just remember to keep the
discussion focused. Do you think you can get it to me by noon tomorrow?
Student
Wow…emm…I have so much…er…but I’ll try.
Professor
OK, good! Do try! But if you can’t, well, sure for after spring break, OK?
