ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE DEAN: NEW CREDIT REQUIREMENTS
The academic dean announces an important change to the university’s core curriculum concerning the number of required credits in mathematics and writing. The mathematics requirement will increase from 1 to 2 courses (or a total of 7 credit hours). The writing requirement will increase from 2 to 3 courses (or a total of 9 credit hours). This change is in response to employers and graduate schools who state that students applying for employment or admission to graduate programs need strong skills in mathematics and writing. The new credit requirements will apply to all students who graduate after May 1 of next year.
Now cover the passage and listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin preparing your response.
The woman expresses her opinion about the new credit requirements. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
M: Did you read the announcement from the dean?
W: You mean the one about the new credit requirements?
M: Yeah. It’s kind of strict, don’t you think? I mean, why should we have to take another mathematics course if we’re not a math major?
W: The dean thinks we need more math and writing, and he knows what he’s talking about. I guess the idea is that everyone needs stronger skills. Math is important in business. I know it’s true in my mother’s business. She’s always telling me about how her employees make accounting errors that really hurt the business.
M: Well, yeah, I agree with you that math is important in business.
W: Almost every kind of job needs either math or writing, or both. I can see why graduate schools want good writers because grad students have to do so much writing, like, you know, they have to write a thesis or a dissertation.
M: Yeah. I want to go to graduate school in psychology.
W: Businesses need good writers, too. It’s important.
