B: I think you know that you have to make the best decision for you. Enjoy your year!

Making an Appointment with Your Professor

1

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!

2

A: Excuse me, Professor, is there a time when I could meet with you?
B: I could meet with you tomorrow anywhere from two until four; what time works out best?
A: I would like to come in at three o'clock.
B: I am glad that that works out; can you find my office?

B: If you do get lost, just ask someone in the building to point the way.
A: Thank you, I'll be there.
B: If you need to cancel your appointment, please give me a call!

3

A: Professor, do you have a few moments when I could meet with you?
B: I schedule my appointments from two to four on Saturday; what works best for you?

A: OK, I'll find it.
B: It's very easy to find.
A: See you then.
B: I will enjoy seeing you; have a good week!

Turning Homework in Late

1

A: Excuse me, Professor. I have to talk to you about why my homework didn't get done.
B: What happened that you didn't get it done?
A: I had to watch a football game instead.
B: Well, you had more than one day; couldn't you have fit it in on another day?
A: Yes, I think so.
B: Either way, I only allow one missed assignment per semester. When will you be turning the make-up in?
A: I'll make it up next week.
B: Fine, but it cannot happen again if you want an “A” in the class.
A: OK, I can do that.
B: Remember that you are in college now, not high school.

2

A: I don't have my homework today.
B: You usually are good about turning it in; what happened?
A: I was really sick.
B: But couldn't you have done it when you felt better?
A: Yes, I probably could.
B: You have already missed one other assignment; when can I expect the make-ups?
A: Next class meeting.
B: That will be soon enough, but make sure you get next week's assignment in as well, all right?
A: That would work for me.
B: Good. I know that you are capable of being an excellent student.

3

A: Let me tell you what happened to my homework.
B: OK, go ahead--what is the excuse THIS time?
A: Actually, I did it, but then it got lost.
B: Could you have gotten it done at another time?
A: Yes, I could.
B: You have never missed an assignment before--when will you be making this one up?
A: I'll make it up early next week.
B: That would work, but don't let it happen again.
A: I'll try.
B: That will solve it then. Let's work hard to not let it happen again.

Finding an Error in Your Test Score

1

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.

2

A: I was looking at my test score and think that it should be higher.
B: Is the math wrong or the way the answer was marked?
A: I think an answer got marked wrong that should have been marked right.
B: These things can happen; let's double-check the answers first to be sure, all right?
A: That would be great!
B: Look at the answer sheet and compare it to your answers. Do you see any place where I made a mistake in grading?
A: This one right here should be right.
B: Yeah, I see the same thing; now we can do the math and check that, right?
A: Yeah, let's do the math.
B: I count all of the correct answers, total them, and divide by the total. Does this look right to you?
A: Looks pretty good.
B: Thank you for caring enough to check on your scores; keep studying!

3

A: Could we go over some things, because I think my test score is wrong.
B: What do you think is wrong, the math or the way your answer was scored?
A: Both.
B: I am willing to take a second look because teachers make mistakes, too. Will that work for you?
A: Yeah, I'm ready.
B: Check your answers against the ones on the answer sheet and let me know where you see the mistake.
A: These look strange.
B: Yes, I agree; let's move on to the calculating of the score. Would that be OK?
A: OK, let's do the calculation.
B: We add all of these up and divide by this and that gives us this percentage.
A: I see.
B: Anytime you have a question, please feel free to ask!

Borrowing Class Notes

1

A: Do you have the notes from last week's class?
B: Did you come late?
A: I couldn't make it.

B: Oh, no, this is the rest.
A: Thank you very much.
B: It's no problem at all.

Grading Policy

1

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?

A: How do you total our scores?
B: The final and mid-term are twenty percent each; homework, attendance, and quizzes are the rest.
A: What if we are out sick?
B: Make sure you contact me as I only allow one unexcused absence.
A: How can we know if we are doing OK during the year?
B: Your grade will not be a surprise; you will know what you need to work on.

3

A: How do you decide what grade we get?
B: I look at many things: attendance, quizzes, and tests.
A: What is the most important factor?
B: Obviously I look for improvement as we go along, but I would like you to do your best from the beginning.
A: How can we keep track of our grades?
B: The final and midterm are 40 percent of your grade; homework, attendance, and quizzes total 60 percent.
A: What if we can't get to school?

A: If we have a major problem, will you let us know?
B: I will be letting you know during the year if you have a major problem.

B: Well, let me take a look at my grade book. How do YOU think you are doing?
A: I think I am doing great, except for that one test!
B: Well, your scores show that you could do a little better. What do you think you could improve on?

2

A: Could you talk to me for a few minutes about my grades?

B: Having a regular study routine and following it is very important, right?
A: I'll try; it's hard!
B: Thanks for stopping by!

3

A: Professor, I'm concerned about my grades. Do you have a minute?
B: Of course, how can I help you?
A: I want to know if I am doing OK.
B: Let's pull out your scores so far. Do you think you are doing OK?
A: I am afraid that I might not be doing all that well.
B: I'm seeing that you are doing OK in some areas, but not so well in others.
A: I think I could take better notes and read a little more.
B: You can greatly improve your grades by always reflecting on what you can improve on.
A: I'm working on it!

B: Make good use of that day off; you'll only have one this semester!

3

A: I have to miss school next week.
B: Isn't there some way you could work your schedule out to be here?
A: Unfortunately, this is what I have to do.
B: How are you going to catch up?
A: I've got it all covered.
B: If you miss this class, you will have used up your quota for the semester.
A: Don't worry, this will be the last class I miss.

A: I'll remember.
B: Enjoy your day off and don't forget to study!

B: See you later! Drive carefully.

2

A: Excuse me, Professor, I have a problem and need to leave class early.
B: Why do you have to leave early?
A: I am not feeling well.
B: Could you make it up by attending my other section this week?

A: I would greatly appreciate that.

3

B: Yes, I see. What did you need to see me about?
A: There's a problem with my schedule.
B: What's the problem?
A: Two of my classes occur at the same time.
B: Well, I can see that's a problem.
A: Is it at all possible for you to fix that error?
B: Yes, I can. Would you still like to have both of these classes?
A: I want to keep both of them, if that's possible.
B: Well, let me find you one of these classes on a different day.
A: Thanks a lot.

Adding a Class

1

A: I am unsure how to add a class and need help.
B: I have an opening. Do you have an add sheet for me to sign?
A: Yes, I have an add sheet.
B: After I sign it, you must take it to the Admissions and Records Office to add the class. Do you know where that is?
A: No, I'm not sure.
B: When you cross the quad, the office is right in front of you. Go inside and follow the signs to the correct line.
A: Thanks. I understand what to do now.
B: It should be easy to find. After you add the class, check with me in a few weeks to make sure that you are on my roll sheet.
A: That sounds good.
B: Good, just make sure that you do the same thing if you ever need to drop a class. Good luck!

2

A: Professor, can you help me add your class?
B: You have to bring me an add sheet to sign. Do you have one?
A: No, I will have to get an add sheet.
B: You must take the signed add slip to the Admissions and Records Office to add the class. Do you know where that is?
A: No, I don't know where that is.
B: The office is in front of you as you cross the quad. The signs in the hallway will tell you where you need to be.
A: I think I can find it.
B: You'll find it easily. Make sure you add the class and then we will look at the roll sheet later to make sure that you were added on.
A: Thank you for letting me add your class.
B: To drop a class, you need to do the same thing with a drop slip. Good luck!

3

A: I am not sure how to add a class.
B: Do you have an add sheet for me to sign?
A: I'll bring one next time.
B: When you get the signed add slip, you must take it to the Admissions and Records Office or you will not be added. Can you find the office?

B: Across the courtyard on the right is the office. Follow the signs to the correct line. Is that clear?
A: Thank you for your directions. It's clear.
B: You can't miss it. Add the class and then come back. We'll check later to make sure you are on the roll sheet.
A: That's great. Thank you so much.

A: No, I don't have a ride yet.
B: We will be leaving the campground at 5:00 in the evening and arrive at our campus at 8:00 p.m. Any more questions?

Where to Buy Lunch

1

A: Hi, could you help me find a place where I could buy some lunch?
B: Sure! What kind of food would you like?
A: I was thinking of pizza or something else Italian, maybe.
B: I know the perfect place!
A: Good! Where is it?
B: It's right past that last building on the left. Do you want me to go with you?
A: That would be great.
B: Glad you asked me to join you. This will be fun!

2

A: Man, I'm hungry. Do you know a good place to have lunch?
B: Yes, I know a great place. What types of food do you like?
A: Mexican, Japanese or Chinese would be great.
B: Oh, I know a place where you might like to eat.
A: Is it close by?
B: It's down a block on the right; can I show you the way?
A: OK, I'd love the company.
B: This will work out well. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

3

A: Let's have some lunch; do you know of a great restaurant somewhere?
B: I'm hungry, too. What types of food sound good?
A: Maybe just a quick sandwich, salad, or something.
B: I have a great idea of where you might like to go.
A: Can we walk there?

Using a Vending Machine

1

A: Can you help me figure out how to use this machine?
B: Yes, I would be happy to help. What do you want to buy?
A: I want to buy that candy.
B: OK. So this machine will make change if you need it. Do you have your dollars ready?
A: Yeah, so far, so good.
B: Next, you feed your dollars into the machine in the slot. Make sure they are smooth.
A: Yeah, I already knew that.
B: I'm sure you know that if the dollar gets stuck, you might have to re-feed it.
A: OK, let's move on!
B: Now you just make your selection and pray. If nothing comes out, try again or call the number on the side of the machine.
A: I hope it works!
B: Well, good luck!

2

A: I've never seen a machine like this before and need some help.
B: Sure, no problem. What are you trying to get?
A: I want to buy a drink.
B: OK. This machine needs you to use that change machine first to get correct change.
A: I've got the correct change already.
B: First you put your money in the dollar slot or the coin slot. The dollars have to be smooth.
A: OK, what next?
B: Just know that sometimes the money doesn't go in perfectly the first time and you have to try again.
A: OK, next?
B: Choose what you want and push the button. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
A: I agree with you.
B: Hope that works for you!

3

A: I want to know how to buy something from this machine.
B: Yeah, the new ones can be tricky. What are you trying to buy?
A: I want to buy one of those snack things.
B: Are you ready to go?
A: I'm clear so far.
B: The money goes in the slot over there. It has to be smooth to go in.
A: It won't go in!
B: Just remember that you might have to feed the money in a couple of times to get it to work.
A: Yes, next step.
B: Make your selection and hope for the best. Vending machines aren't all that reliable.
A: They're totally unreliable.
B: You seem to have it down. Have a good day!

Getting a Library Card

1

A: Excuse me. I am interested in getting a library card.
B: Sure, let me give you an application. You can fill it out right here at the counter.
A: OK, here it is.
B: Let me take a look at this for you. May I have your driver's license, please?
A: Here's my license and form.
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.
A: OK, I see.
B: Thank you for joining the library; we look forward to serving you.

2

A: I was wondering if you could help me to get a library card.
B: Of course, just fill out this form and let me know when you are finished.
A: I'm finished.
B: I will also need your driver's license; hand me the filled-out form, please.
A: OK, the form is all filled out.
B: Perfect! Do you know the hours and rules for the library?
A: No, I have no idea what they are.
B: Everything you need to know is printed on the card and handout.
A: Yes, right.
B: Great! You are all set to enjoy the library.

3

A: Good morning. Is this where I can get a library card issued to me?
B: No problem, we have a short form right here; just hand it to me when you are done.
A: I'm done.
B: That looks great, but I will also need your driver's license or other form of I.D.
A: Sure, here it all is.
B: Well, this looks nice. Do you know how to use it?
A: I am pretty sure how to use it, but can you remind me?
B: Of course, just remember that all of the needed information is on the card.
A: I see.
B: Well, I hope you have a wonderful time on your library visits!

Returning Overdue Books

1

A: Can you help me with returning my late books?
B: This is the right spot to pay your fee. Put your books down right here.
A: OK, here they are.
B: I can see that you owe 25 cents a day. That will be one dollar and fifty cents total.
A: OK, here's the money.
B: We are interested in getting our books back; so as long as all the fines are paid off by the end of the semester, you will be fine. Does that make sense?
A: I'm not sure.
B: Your registration and transcripts can be held up if there is an outstanding fine.
A: Now I understand.
B: Well, you can always keep your late fees down by using the night drop if we are closed. Enjoy the library!

2

A: These books should have been turned in last week.
B: You have come to the correct place. Hand me your books.
A: Here they are.
B: Whoa, these are pretty late! You owe five dollars total to clear your fine.
A: I don't have the money right now.
B: We only require that all fines must be paid off by the end of the semester. So you will be okay to go.
A: What would happen if I didn't pay it?
B: It's really important to always clear your fines, so you'll get a report card and transcripts on time.
A: Yeah, but I don't know how they can do that.
B: Always remember that the night drop is here, and we really appreciate you returning your books for all to use.

3

A: My library books are late, where can I put them?
B: This is where they need to be turned in. Let me see them to check the date, OK?
A: Yeah, I think that they are really late!
B: Not all that late. You only owe the library fifty cents.
A: What if I can't pay it?
B: We appreciate you paying off all fines as soon as possible, but always before the end of the semester.
A: Yeah, I get it.
B: Your report card and transcripts will be held until you pay all fines, so always make sure that you do that.
A: That's not really fair!
B: If we aren't here, always feel free to use the night drop outside. Thanks for coming in!

Using a Parking Meter

1

A: Excuse me, could you help me figure out how to use this new parking meter?
B: Sure, it was confusing for me also. Have you ever used a regular meter?
A: Yes, I understood the old one.
B: Well, on this one you can use coins or a debit or credit card; which one would you like to use?
A: Debit or credit card.
B: OK. Now, do you see what the rate is on the sticker?
A: Yes.
B: OK, now that we know what it will cost, put the money or card into the machine.
A: Yes, I can do that.
B: Wonderful; now, this machine asks you the number of your spot, so put that in also.
A: Yes, I'm ready.
B: All you have to do now is take your receipt and put it on your dashboard.

2

A: Whoa, I never saw a meter like this before; how do you use it?
B: It's simple, once you do it a few times. Do you know how the old one worked?
A: I never used a parking meter before.
B: So we start out by deciding whether you will use cash or a credit or debit card.
A: Cash.
B: Fine, can you read the rate on the display?
A: Yes, I can.
B: Fine. Now that we know what they are ripping us off for, insert the payment.
A: I'd rather not pay, but I have to.
B: Fine, this machine does not ask you the number of your spot, so we can move on, all right?
A: Perfect, let's do it.
B: Now just check the meter to see how many minutes you have.

3

A: This parking meter is really confusing. Can you help me figure it out?
B: It's just like the old one, but with new stuff added.
A: Yeah, OK.
B: The first step is deciding on debit or credit card payment, so which one is it?
A: I have coins.
B: Perfect. Now, can you see the rate on the sign?
A: I didn't see that, but now I do.
B: Once you know what it will cost, put the payment in.
A: Here it goes!
B: You are doing great! Let's move on to the next step.
A: I am a little confused.
B: Just make sure that everything registered, and then you are good to go!

B: Well, when you see the blue spots with the handicapped logo, do not park there unless you have a special permit. Are you going to be parking in the daytime or evening?
A: I park in the evenings.
B: Then you also need to be aware of the time limits on the street signs. Have you seen those signs?

Are you aware of the marked handicapped spots?

A: I park days and evenings.

B: As long as you are careful reading the signs, you will always know how long you can park and what days are OK to park there. Are you aware of the curb colors?
A: What curb colors?
B: If you can remember that red means absolutely no parking and white means that you can only load and unload, you are going to be OK.

Fighting a Parking Ticket

1

A: Hey, I got this parking ticket; can you help me figure a way out of it?
B: First of all, did you park somewhere too long or in the wrong spot?
A: I was there too long.
B: Was the area clearly labeled with the time limit and all?
A: Yeah, I saw it.
B: You will need to convince the judge that you couldn't see the signs.
A: Yeah, I understand.
B: Whatever you do, you need to be respectful and polite to the judge.
A: Yeah, you're right.
B: Just try to talk to him about how IF you made a mistake that it won't happen again.
A: OK, I will.
B: Good luck!

2

A: Man, I got another parking ticket. I am so unlucky--what can I do?
B: Was your car where it wasn't supposed to be, or did you stay there too long?
A: I was in an area where I wasn't supposed to park.
B: Could you tell where you were supposed to park and for how long?
A: I could tell what I was supposed to do.
B: That's too bad. That means that you can't use receipts or a witness to help you out.
A: I guess not.
B: Try brown-nosing the judge, but don't be too obvious about it.
A: Sure, if it will help.
B: Try and convince him that something was labeled wrong or something.
A: Sounds good!
B: Give it your best shot; it might work.

3

A: I don't know how to fight a parking ticket.
B: Did you get written up for exceeding the time limit or for parking where you weren't supposed to be?
A: Both.
B: Did you see all the signs and just decide to blow them off?
A: I was confused.
B: Maybe you could explain that you are new and got confused--could you do that?
A: If it might work, I'll go for it!
B: Let the judge see that you are only a poor starving student who won't do it again.
A: I can see how that might work.
B: Without actually saying that the parking ticket guy was an idiot, make it seem as though it was HIS mistake, not yours!
A: I could do that!
B: Try it. It just might save you the price of a parking ticket.
