Listen to a conversation between a student and his academic advisor
聽(tīng)一段學(xué)生和學(xué)術(shù)指導(dǎo)的對(duì)話
Hi Mark, what can I do for you?
I'm just filling out this approval for graduation form for the Dean's office and … I don't know, I hope I will be able to graduate next semester.
我正在填院長(zhǎng)辦公室的畢業(yè)同意表……我不知道,我希望我能在下學(xué)期畢業(yè)。
Well, as long as you've met the departmental requirements and you submit the form on time, you shouldn't have any problem.
只要你達(dá)到了院系要求,按時(shí)交表,那就不會(huì)有問(wèn)題。
Make sure you include all the classes you will have taken for your degree in finance and the electives too.
你要確保你已經(jīng)把所有你金融學(xué)位所需的課程包括在內(nèi),還有選修課。
Yeah, but as I look over the form, I got confused because the way, uh, they've changed the requirements, so, now I'm not sure I'll qualify to graduate next semester.
但當(dāng)我看這張表格時(shí),我有點(diǎn)糊涂了,因?yàn)椋麄儼岩蟾牧耍袁F(xiàn)在我不確定我是否達(dá)到了下學(xué)期畢業(yè)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
I know I would've before, under the old requirements.
我知道之前我是達(dá)標(biāo)的,以舊標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)說(shuō)。
Well, when the business department changed the curriculum to include more courses in international business to, well, because of the increasing globalization of business, we made sure that students would finish to their second year, that is those who were in their third or fourth year wouldn't be affected.
當(dāng)商學(xué)系更改課程表,以將更多國(guó)際商業(yè)課程納入其中,因?yàn)樯虡I(yè)全球化不斷加速,我們要確保學(xué)生在二年級(jí)完成這些課程,也就是說(shuō)三四年級(jí)的學(xué)生是不受影響的。
The new rules only apply to students in their first or second year.
新的規(guī)定只對(duì)一二年級(jí)的學(xué)生有效。
Oh, that's good to know.
那太好了。
Uh, the departments are hiring new faculty too, I heard, to teach some of the new courses?
我聽(tīng)說(shuō)院系里正在請(qǐng)新的教員來(lái)教新的課程?
But, I want to…Yes, one new faculty member has been hired. She'll be teaching International Banking as a matter of fact.
但我想……對(duì),已經(jīng)聘用了一個(gè)新教員。事實(shí)上,她將教國(guó)際銀行業(yè)的課。
Actually, that's what I wanted to ask about, International Banking.
實(shí)際上我就想問(wèn)問(wèn)這個(gè),國(guó)際銀行業(yè)。
I took International Banking 1, but I never took International Banking 2.
我上了國(guó)際銀行業(yè)1,但我沒(méi)有上國(guó)際銀行業(yè)2。
It used to be that the second semester of International Banking was an elective, but now it says it's a required class.
之前國(guó)際銀行業(yè)的第二學(xué)期課程是選修的,但現(xiàn)在是必修課了。
Yes, but that's one of the recent changes, so…
對(duì),但這是最近才變的,所以……
Oh, oh, okay. Oh, and I am planning to take a management course next semester but I don't know if it's, if it will count toward my major.
噢,好的。噢,我還計(jì)劃在下學(xué)期上一個(gè)管理課程,但我不知道這是否計(jì)入我的專業(yè)。
What's the course?
什么課?
Organizational behavior.
組織行為學(xué)。
Yes, that'll count toward your major, that's a difficult class you know, but well worth it.
對(duì),它計(jì)入你的專業(yè),這可是個(gè)很難的課程呢,但很值得學(xué)。
So it looks like you'll have all the required classes you need, you should be just fine.
看起來(lái)你會(huì)上完所有你需要上的課程了,你沒(méi)事兒的。
Uh, I assume you've taken a seminar?
嗯,我猜你已經(jīng)上了一個(gè)研討課了?
Yeah, I took the marketing seminar.
對(duì),我上的是營(yíng)銷研討課。
Ok, you're looking good. Just to be on the safe side, why don't you talk to someone in the Dean's office before you give them the form?
好,你看起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。保險(xiǎn)起見(jiàn),為何不在你交表之前和院長(zhǎng)辦公室里的人聊聊呢?
Ok, so should I just explain to them that even though one of these classes got changed from an elective to a required class I don't have to take it?
好,那我應(yīng)該向他們解釋一下嗎,有一節(jié)課從選修變成了必修,但我不用上?
Yes, you've met the requirements for graduation, and if there's something I need to do, if, if I need to write a letter or whatever, just let me know.
對(duì),你已經(jīng)達(dá)到了畢業(yè)的要求,如果有什么需要我做,如果要我寫(xiě)什么信之類的,告訴我就行。
Ok, thanks. I'll let you know if I need that letter.
好,謝謝。如果我需要那封信,我會(huì)告訴你。
