Listen to a conversation on campus between two students.
Man:    Wait up. I need to ask you about something.
Woman:    Oh, hi Jack.
Man:    Hi. Listen, I was just wondering whether you understood what Professor
Carson was saying about the review session next Monday.
Woman:    Sure. Why?
Man:    Well, the way I get it, it’s optional.
Woman:    Right. He said if we didn’t have any questions, we should just use the time to study on our own.
Man:    Okay. That’s what I thought. Maybe I’ll just skip it then.
Woman:    Well, it’s up to you, but the thing is ... sometimes at a review session, someone else will ask a question, and, you know, the way the professor explains It, it’s really helpful, I mean, to figure out what he wants on the test.
Man:    Oh I didn’t think about it that way, but it makes sense. So, you’re going to go then.
Woman:    Absolutely. Urn, I’ve had a couple of other classes with Carson and the review sessions always helped get me organized for the test.
Man:    Oh.
Woman:    And, if you’ve missed any of the lectures, he usually has extra handouts from all the classes. So ...
Man:    Well, I haven’t missed any of the sessions.
Woman:    Me neither. But I’m still going to be there. Look, uh, if it’s like the other review sessions, the first hour he’s going to go over the main points for each class, kind of like an outline of the course. Then from five-thirty to six-thirty, he’ll take questions. That’s the best part. And the last half hour, he’ll stay for individual conferences with people who need extra help. I usually don’t stay for that.
Man:    Okay. So we just show up at the regular time and place for class?
Woman:    Or not, if you decide to study on your own.
Man:    Right. But, don’t you think he’ll notice who’s there?
Woman:    He said he wasn’t going to take attendance.
Man:    Yeah, but still ...
Woman:    It’s a fairly large class.
Man:    But if he’s grading your final and he remembers you were at the review, it might make a difference.
Woman:    Maybe. I think the important thing is just to study really hard and do your best.
But, the review sessions help me study. I think they’re really good.
Man:    Okay. Thanks. I guess I’ll go, too.
Woman:    So I’ll see you there.
Man:    Yeah, I think I... I’d better go.
