Listen to a conversation between a student and his academic advisor
听一段学生和学术指导的对话
Hi Mark, what can I do for you?
你好,马克,有什么我能帮你的吗?
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.
我正在填院长办公室的毕业同意表……我不知道,我希望我能在下学期毕业。
Well, as long as you've met the departmental requirements and you submit the form on time, you shouldn't have any problem.
只要你达到了院系要求,按时交表,那就不会有问题。
Make sure you include all the classes you will have taken for your degree in finance and the electives too.
你要确保你已经把所有你金融学位所需的课程包括在内,还有选修课。
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.
但当我看这张表格时,我有点糊涂了,因为,他们把要求改了,所以现在我不确定我是否达到了下学期毕业的标准。
I know I would've before, under the old requirements.
我知道之前我是达标的,以旧标准来说。
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.
当商学系更改课程表,以将更多国际商业课程纳入其中,因为商业全球化不断加速,我们要确保学生在二年级完成这些课程,也就是说三四年级的学生是不受影响的。
The new rules only apply to students in their first or second year.
新的规定只对一二年级的学生有效。
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?
我听说院系里正在请新的教员来教新的课程?
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……对,已经聘用了一个新教员。事实上,她将教国际银行业的课。
Actually, that's what I wanted to ask about, International Banking.
实际上我就想问问这个,国际银行业。
I took International Banking 1, but I never took International Banking 2.
我上了国际银行业1,但我没有上国际银行业2。
It used to be that the second semester of International Banking was an elective, but now it says it's a required class.
之前国际银行业的第二学期课程是选修的,但现在是必修课了。
Yes, but that's one of the recent changes, so…
对,但这是最近才变的,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,我还计划在下学期上一个管理课程,但我不知道这是否计入我的专业。
What's the course?
什么课?
Organizational behavior.
组织行为学。
Yes, that'll count toward your major, that's a difficult class you know, but well worth it.
对,它计入你的专业,这可是个很难的课程呢,但很值得学。
So it looks like you'll have all the required classes you need, you should be just fine.
看起来你会上完所有你需要上的课程了,你没事儿的。
Uh, I assume you've taken a seminar?
嗯,我猜你已经上了一个研讨课了?
Yeah, I took the marketing seminar.
对,我上的是营销研讨课。
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,你看起来不错。保险起见,为何不在你交表之前和院长办公室里的人聊聊呢?
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,那我应该向他们解释一下吗,有一节课从选修变成了必修,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.
对,你已经达到了毕业的要求,如果有什么需要我做,如果要我写什么信之类的,告诉我就行。
Ok, thanks. I'll let you know if I need that letter.
好,谢谢。如果我需要那封信,我会告诉你。
