Tone and Attitude in a Student-Professor Conversation
Listen to the following conversation between a professor and a student during office hours:
Professor: Hello, Jenny! What can I help you with today?
Jenny: Hi, Professor! I wanted to discuss my last assignment. I felt pretty confused about the feedback you gave me.
Professor: Of course! I appreciate you coming in to talk about it. I want to ensure you understand everything clearly. The main point I made was about your analysis; it was good, but I think you could delve a bit deeper into the implications of your conclusions.
Jenny: Thank you! I really want to improve. Sometimes I feel like I’m not grasping the material as well as I should.
Professor: It's completely normal to feel that way, especially with complex topics. Your effort shows, and I'm here to help you.
Jenny: I appreciate that! It really helps to have your support. I’ll dive deeper into the material and come back with more questions!
Professor: Perfect! I look forward to seeing your progress!
