<p>[A knock on the door.] Jeff: <strong>Come in.</strong> Julie: Hi, Dr. McQuillan, I'm Julie Taylor. I'm in your <strong>2 o'clock class</strong> on Thursdays. Jeff: Hi, Julie. <strong>Have a seat.</strong> What can I do for you? Julie: I wanted to come see you during your <strong>office hours</strong> because I <strong>missed</strong> class last week. I had a <strong>family emergency </strong>. Jeff: I'm sorry to hear that. We <strong>went over </strong>a lot of <strong>material</strong> so make sure you get the <strong>notes</strong> from another student in class. Julie: Thanks, I will. Did you give any <strong>assignments </strong>? Jeff: Yes, I assigned an <strong>essay</strong> on the topics in chapter 3 of your <strong>textbook</strong>. Julie: Oh, I see. Are there <strong>guidelines</strong> for the essay? Jeff: Yes, it should be 8-10 pages and it's <strong>due</strong> in two weeks. Take a look at your <strong>syllabus</strong>. It has more details. Julie: I will. Thanks a lot. I've also <strong>been meaning to</strong> talk to you about the trouble I'm having <strong>keeping up </strong>in class. I'm having trouble understanding the <strong>lectures</strong>. Is there anything you would suggest? Jeff: Some students tape record the lectures and listen to them <strong>afterwards</strong>. That seems to help. Julie: That's a great idea. I'll definitely try that. I'm wondering if you give <strong>extra credit</strong> in your class? Jeff: No, I don't give extra credit assignments. But if you're worried about <strong>passing</strong>, there are still two more tests <strong>to pull up your grade</strong>. Julie: Yes, I'll study hard for those. Thanks a lot for your time. Jeff: No problem. See you in class. Julie: Okay, <strong>Professor</strong> McQuillan, see you Thursday.
