TPO 4 Conversation 2
Narrator
Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
Professor
Hey, Jane, you look like you are in a hurry.
Student
Yeah, things are a little crazy.
Professor
Oh yeah? What’s going on?
Student
Oh, it’s nothing. Well, since it’s your class, I guess it’s OK. It’s, it’s just that I am having trouble with my group project.
Professor
Ah, yes, due next week. What’s your group doing again?
Student
It’s about United States Supreme Court Decisions. We are looking at the impact of recent cases on property rights, municipal land use cases, owning disputes.
Professor
Right, OK. And it’s not going well?
Student
Not really. I’m worried about the other two people in my group. They are just sitting back, not really doing their fair share of the work and waiting for an A. It’s kind of stressing me out, because we are getting close to the deadline and I feel like I’m doing everything for this project.
Professor
Ah, the good old free rider problem.
Student
Free rider?
Professor
Ah, it’s just a term that describes this situation, when people in the group seek to get the benefits of being in a group without contributing to the work. Anyway, what exactly do you mean when you say they just sit back? I mean, they’ve been filing the weekly progress reports with me.
Student
Yes, but I feel like I’m doing 90% of the work. I hate to sound so negative here, but honestly, they are taking credit for things they shouldn’t take credit for. Like last week in the library, we decided to split up the research into 3 parts and then each of us was supposed to find sources in the library for our parts. I went off to the stack and found some really good material for my part, but when I got back to our table, they were just goofing off and talking. So I went and got materials for their sections as well.
Professor
Um…you know you shouldn’t do that.
Student
I know, but I didn’t want to risk the project going down the drain.
Professor
I know Teresa and Kevin. I had both of them in other courses. So, I’m familiar with the work and work habits.
Student
I know, me too. And that’s why this has really surprised me.
Professor
Do you…does your group like your topic?
Student
Well, I think we’d all rather focus on cases that deal with personal liberties, questions about freedom of speech, things like that. But I chose property rights.
Professor
You chose the topic?
Student
Yeah, I thought it would be good for us, all of us to try something new.
Professor
Um…maybe that’s part of the problem. Maybe Teresa and Kevin aren’t that excited about the topic? And since you picked it, have you thought…talk to them at all about picking a different topic?
Student
But we’ve got all the sources and it’s due next week. We don’t have time to start from scratch.
Professor
OK, I will let you go ‘cause I know you are so busy. But you might consider talking to your group about your topic choice.
Student
I will think about it. Got to run, see you in class.
独白：请听一段学生和教授之间的对话。
教授：Hey，Jane，你着急什么呢？
学生：呃，事情有点疯狂。
教授：哦？出什么事了？
学生：哦，没什么事。就是，这是你的课，我想没事的。就是，就是分组计划可能有些问题了。
教授：啊是的，下周之前完成，你的组又干什么了？
学生：是关于美国最高法院决议。我们正在研究最近的案子对美国产权，城市用地法案，所有权冲突的影响。
教授：好的，进展的不顺利吗？
学生：不太顺利，我现在担心组里的其他两个人。他们只是袖手旁观，没有完成他们分内的工作，却妄想着要拿到 A。这让我感到有点压力，因为截止日期快到了，我感觉整个项目都我一人在做。
教授：啊，又是这样 free writer problem 的问题。
学生：什么意思？
教授：啊，就是指一组人在没有给组里做出贡献的情况下还想得到好处的情况。不管怎样。你说他们袖手旁观是怎样的情况？因为一直都有完成每周的进度报告。
学生：对。但感觉我做了 90%的工作。我真不喜欢说这些消极的话，但是，说实话，他们会因此拿到学分，而这些学分他们是不该拿的。就像上周在图书馆那样，我们决定将研究分为三个部分，每个人应该负责自己的那部分在图书馆找相应的资料。我在书架上找到对我负责的部分很好的资料，但当我回去的时候，他们却在偷懒聊天。所以我只好也给他们负责的那部分找资料去了。
教授：嗯，你不应该那样做的。
学生：我知道，但是那样的话项目可能流于无形，我可不想冒险。
教授：我认识 Teresa 和 Kevin。我在其他课上教过他们。我对他们的工作和工作习惯很熟悉。
学生：我知道，我也是。这就是为什么这件事让我对他们感到很惊讶。
教授：你是不是……你的组员喜欢你们的话题吗？
学生：嗯，我想我们会将精力集中于个人自由，像言论自由的问题,但是我选择了财产权作为主题。
教授：你选的主题？
学生：是的。我想这对我们都好，我们都尝试一些新东西。
教授：嗯，也许这就是问题之一。也许 Teresa 和 Kevin 对这个话题不感冒？还有，主题是你选的，你有想过。。。跟他们讲关于话题选定的问题吗？
学生：但我们所有材料都准备了，下周就到期了。我们没有时间从头再来。
教授：好，我会放宽期限因为我知道你很忙，但是你也许可以考虑跟你的组员谈关于话题选定的问题。
学生：我会考虑的。我要走了，课堂上见。
