Understanding Project Requirements
Listen to the following conversation between a student and a professor:
Student: Good morning, Professor Smith. I wanted to ask you about the project assignment. I’m a bit confused about the requirements.
Professor: Good morning! I’m happy to help. What specifically are you unsure about?
Student: I’m not clear on how many sources we need to include. I thought I heard you say three sources at the last class, but some of my classmates think it’s four.
Professor: Ah, I see. You actually need to include a minimum of four sources. Three is just the bare minimum for certain shorter assignments, but this project requires more depth. You can also use a mix of books, journal articles, and credible websites.
Student: Got it! And when is the final project due?
Professor: The final project is due on the last day of class next month. Just make sure to plan your time well, as the final project should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the material.
Student: Thank you, Professor! That clarifies a lot.
