Summary: Script by Meropi Peponides Audio Index: Slow dialog: 1:08 Explanations: 3:16 Fast dialog: 10:50 Questions: 12:07 I was sitting in a lecture, waiting to get my test back. When I did get it back, I was shocked. My grade was a C-, even though I thought I had done really well. When I looked over the test to see what I got wrong, I couldn’t understand why I missed so many questions. I decided to talk to my professor about it after class. Jack: Excuse me, Professor Meyers? Prof. Meyers: Yes, did you have a question? Jack: Well, there are a lot of questions that I missed on the test, but I can’t figure out why I got them wrong. I was wondering if you could explain them to me. Prof. Meyers: Sure, I can go over them with you. The only problem is, I don’t have time right now, I have to get to another class. But could you come by my office hours later today? Jack: Yeah, that would work. Where is your office located? Prof. Meyers: It’s on the second floor of the Biology building. You pass by the lab, and there are a bunch of professor’s offices there. Mine is number 215. Jack: Great, what time should I stop by? Prof. Meyers: I will be there between 2:30 and 3:30 this afternoon. Jack: Perfect, I get out of class at 2:15, and I can head straight over. Prof. Meyers: Sounds good. If my door isn’t open, just go ahead and knock. I’ll be there. Jack: Thanks, Professor Meyers. See you this afternoon!
