问题 Choose TWO letters, A-E.

A  Personal relationships.
B  Cultural differences.
C  Division of labour.
D  Group leadership.
E  Group size.
  
T: Well it might not be a problem, but it’s something that needs clarifying... Well, I hope that’s been helpful in narrowing down the options?
G: Yes it has, thanks. I’ll be able to make a decision now. But while I’m here, can I talk to you about course-work?
T: Sure.
G: I’m not very happy about the way our group assignment is working. There are some problems.
T: Oh dear. Are people just not getting on with each other? That’s the worst thing...
G: Actually we’re all friends, it’s not that, but when we’re having a discussion about the assignment one or two person end up doing all the talking, and the rest don’t say anything. It’s a bit frustrating because we need plenty of debate...
T: Well that’s a common observation. You’re studying in a group with people from all over the world, and you all have your own ways of participating. In some places, students are more used to listening than talking, and vice versa.
G: Mmm.I suppose you’re right... I’ll try to remember that...
T: Does everyone pull their weight as far as sharing the workload is concerned?
G: I’d say they do, yes. And our group elected a leader. She’s very good at making sure no one’s overloaded... But personally I feel that there are just too many of us in the group. Whenever we try to arrange a meeting there’s always at least one person who can’t make it. It’s not anyone’s fault. It’s just that we’ve all got slightly different timetables.
T: Well I’m glad you’ve talked to me about it. Feedback is always useful. Is there anything else you’re concerned about?
G: There are a couple of problems with lecturers that all the students are talking about...
T: Last semester we had negative feedback about the way lectures were organised. There were several occasions when the wrong room had been booked, or the same room had been booked twice... that sort of thing. Is that still a problem?
G: That hasn’t happened at all as far as I know...
T: Oh good, it’s sorted out then.
G: But... I don’t know the reason, but some of the staff often turn up late, so we miss ten or fifteen minutes of our lecture time... It might be because they’ve been copying handouts for students, I think there’s a queue for the machine sometimes...
T: Well I’ll look into that. Thank you for telling me. Anything else?
G: The other thing is that it can be very difficult to get to see a lecturer individually. They’re all very supportive and friendly when you do manage to find them, but often they’re not in their office, even at times when they’re meant to be available for consultation.
T: OK... That’s helpful... Now before you leave, let me...
