اوكيييييييييي؟؟؟

Registering for a Class

A: Hello, I need to register for a class.
B: What class are you trying to take?
A: I want to take a Psychology class.
B: Well, there are only two classes open.
A: Can you tell me what days the classes are on?
B: One class is on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
A: And the other class?
B: That class is from ten to twelve on Monday and Wednesday.
A: Are you sure these are the only open classes?
B: Yes, I am sure.
A: Okay, sign me up for the class on Monday and Wednesday.
B: Very well then.

Grading Policy

A: I was wondering how you are going to calculate our final grades.
B: Grades are based on many things: homework, attendance, quizzes, mid-term, and final.
A: What counts the most?
B: Actually I look at all of it and let's not forget class participation.
A: Do you grade on a curve or use percentages?
B: Homework, attendance, and quizzes are sixty percent; the mid-term and final are worth twenty percent each.
A: What if we miss something?
B: I will allow one unexcused absence; after that you need to contact me ahead of time.
A: Will you tell us if we are failing during the year?
B: You will be able to track your progress during the year.

Buying Textbooks

A: How do I buy my textbooks?
B: Do you have your book list for your class?
A: Yes, I have my list.
B: Fine. Once you have it, you can go to the bookstore. Do you know where that is?
A: Yes, I know where the bookstore is.
B: OK, so once you pass the gym, it's the first door on your left. Do you know you can also sell your used textbooks there?
A: No, I didn't know I could do that.
B: You just take them with you and trade them with the used textbook man just outside the door. Do you think you will be doing that today?
A: Yes, I am going today.
B: Well, if you decide to go, I could meet you over there at 1:00 today or tomorrow to help you. Would that work for you?
A: Yes, thank you. That would be great.
B: Well, then, I'll talk to you later. Have a good day!

Talking about a Professor

A: Could you tell me if you have ever taken a class from Dr. Miller?
B: Yes. Are you going to be taking a class from him?
A: Yes, but I have never taken his class before.
B: He is very interesting and challenging. Is that what you are looking for?
A: Yes, that's what I need.
B: He is really clear on what you need to learn to get a good grade. Are you willing to study hard?
A: Yes, I guess so.
B: What I really liked about him is that he was an understanding and friendly teacher. Do you enjoy that in a teacher?
A: Yes, I had a teacher like that before.
B: Did you know that he has 20 years teaching experience?
A: No, I didn't, but that could be a good thing.
B: Well, take a look at everything and figure out what is best for you. Good luck!

Finding an Error in Your Test Score

A: Excuse me, Professor. I think there might be an error in my test score.
B: Sure. Do you think that the total is wrong or that you got something marked wrong that should have been marked right?
A: I think that the percentage is incorrect.
B: Let's just go over all of it to double-check.
A: Sure, let's do it.
B: Here is the answer sheet. Do you see a place where I marked something wrong that should have been right?
A: I don't see any mistakes.
B: OK, now that we've gotten those straightened out, let's total the score.
A: Yes, let's total it.
B: Well, if I total that like this and divide by this number, I get this total. Do you agree?
A: Yes, you're right.
B: Well then, we are all straight. Have a good day and thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Making an Appointment with Your Professor

A: Professor, could I make an appointment with you?
B: I am free tomorrow afternoon between two and four; do you have a particular time in mind?
A: Two o'clock would be the best time.
B: Fine, do you know where my office is?
A: No, I'm not sure.
B: Remember, it is in the E building on the third floor.
A: I see.
B: Don't worry, it will work out fine once you get there. I'll see you then.
A: I'll see you then.
B: Looking forward to meeting with you!

B: You seem to have filled the form out all right. Are you familiar with our rules and fines?
A: Yes, I know what to do.
B: The hours and limitations are printed on the card and this handout.
