听力原文:S Uh, Dr. Krakow? P [Surprised] Yes! Oh, hi, Jenny! S Im sorry. I hope Im not catching you at a bad time. P Jenny, we dont call them office hours for nothing! Come on in. S Thanks. Uh ... first off, I really wanted to thank you for such an amazing course this term. Its been such a pleasure. I mean, I never really knew much about any alternative education methods, and its been a really illuminating experience. Ive become really passionate now about arts-education. I think its what Im going to write my honors thesis on. P Thats wonderful! Art Methods in Education is one of my favorite classes to teach. Uh, what, uh, specifically are you thinking about doing for your honors thesis, if I may ask? S Well, thats why Im here. I think I want to specialize in Creative Arts Therapies, and I know youre teaching a class in that next term! But the thing is Ive already filled up my schedule with mandatory classes. I cant register for any more. P Ah, I see. S I was hoping that Id be able to audit the class instead. P Hmmm, I see. Well, thats certainly a possibility. Let me tell you a little bit about the pros and cons of auditing classes. You see, in choosing to audit, you are making a commitment to do the readings, keep up with the coursework, and be a positive presence in class, in addition to doing the work for the classes you are actually registered for. It would be unprofessional of me to suggest that you compromise your other course work in order to keep up to snuff in my own class. After all, they do give a maximum-course load quota for a reason. S Right, I see. I certainly have no intention of compromising my other course work. Well, how much work would it be for me? Would I have to write papers? P Well, that raises another point actually, come to think of it. You see, some people ... not me, but some people at the administrative level mostly, feel that it is unfair to the students registered in the course to have auditors present. Sometimes, the keenest students of all are the auditors, so dont get me wrong! But if a non-registered student keeps raising his hand and asking questions, hes technically taking question-asking time away from the students who have actually paid to be in the course. This gets even more complicated if you submit a paper. Since you are not registered in the class, I technically am not being paid to read your paper. Now, of course Im happy to look at it unofficially, but if I spend too much time reading it, it means less attention is given on tile others. You see the predicament? S Yeah, I guess I never thought of it that way. P Then again, if youre going to sit in on the class, I want you to be a real presence. That means doing the readings, asking questions, being engaged, and contributing to the atmosphere of the class. Otherwise its like having a dead-weight in the room. Its a two-tiered dilemma, you see? Should you take on the responsibility of doing extra coursework when youve already got a full load? And should I permit you to join the class and give it your full energy, knowing that it might take away from the attention the registered students get from me? This is the dilemma of accepting auditor students. I uh ... I think we can work something out, but its important that I show you the lay of the land first. S Well, I think I can handle the work because Im going to be doing research into my thesis anyways. P Yes! That definitely makes things more cost-effective for you, time-wise. You will be doing the readings as research for an independent project, and the lectures will enrich your readings. That is a good way of looking at it. But what is your feeling on writing papers? Were you hoping to write a paper for this class? S Well, I was hoping to, just to learn the material better. But I dont want to get you in trouble with your union, and make you read over my work when youre not getting paid. P Well, I just thought of something. If you want to do research in Creative Arts Therapies, then since Im the department specialist, you would have to come talk to me anyway. Thats part of my job ... to meet with students to discuss their independent research. So how about, when it comes to paper-time, instead of submitting a term paper, you can submit a draft of your thesis. Or at least, you can submit me an extensive thesis proposal. S Great idea! P And that way, we can start making your thesis the best it can possibly be. I have a lot of faith in your abilities, Jenny. You were a model student this past term. Id be happy to nudge you along as you begin your thesis work. So uh ... lets leave it at this, shall we? Next term, you just show up to class, and well carry on from there! S Yes! Great, thank you for the concession. I ... uh, really do appreciate it. P My pleasure. Ill see you next fall then! Have a great summer, Jenny. S Im sorry. I hope Im not catching you at a bad time. P Jenny, we dont call them office hours for nothing! Come on in.
