DIALOGUE 3

Discussing the timetable

(Alex, a first-year student, is talking to his tutor – Mr. Ivanov).

Alex: Mr. Ivanov, I would like to clear up a few questions. Will you, please, explain some abbreviations in the timetable?

Mr. I.: With pleasure.

Alex: What does LAB mean?

Mr. I.: It means LABORATORY CLASS. The students may work with machines, or they may carry out experiments and write reports about them there.

Alex: What about LEC?

Mr. I.: That stands for LECTURE CLASS. A professor gives lectures and the students take notes.

Alex: The last abbreviation is SEM.

Mr. I.: It stands for SEMINAR. The professor and the class discuss problems connected with a specific subject. The students frequently prepare reports and read them to the class.

Alex: Do all University courses have examinations?

Mr. I.: Yes, all of them do and students take them twice a year. They are called end-of-term exams.

Alex: Are there any other exams besides these?

Mr. I.: Well, some teachers also give short exams, but these are called end-of-term TESTS.

Alex: What does a student’s final mark depend on?

Mr. I.: It depends on everything: on the examinations, tests, written assignments and often on attendance.
