Answers & Explanations Summary
| # | Answer | Evidence | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q21 | Global Economy | According to the course data from the twentieth March to twentieth June, I think the name of the course should be Global Economy | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Ana explaining that based on the class dates, the name of their course is Global Economy. Answer Explanation: The answer means that the title or name of the class is "Global Economy". Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "Global Economy" because when Jack and Ana are filling in the top part of the feedback form, Jack asks about the course name. Ana looks at the dates and states clearly that the name of the course is "Global Economy". She also confirms to Jack that it ends with "Economy", not "Economics". |
| Q22 | Robert Hansen | Jack: Alright. The next item is the name of our subject advisor. Ana: Professor Robert Hansen | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Jack asking for the name of the subject advisor, and Ana answering with the name Professor Robert Hansen. Answer Explanation: The answer is the name of the person who guides or advises the students in the subject, which is Robert Hansen. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "Robert Hansen" because Jack states that the next item on the form is the "name of our subject advisor." Ana immediately responds with "Professor Robert Hansen." Following the instruction of writing no more than two words, the title "Professor" is omitted, leaving the name "Robert Hansen." |
| Q23 | words | Jack: Yes. I agree. But do you think the words of handouts, well, may be too many words. Ana: What do you mean? Jack: I mean I have to spend so much time reading them just like reading a book. Ana: Right. Let's put that down | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Jack commenting that the handouts contain too many words, making them take a very long time to read. Ana agrees with this point and decides to write it on the form. Answer Explanation: The answer "words" refers to the written text or language printed on the course handouts. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "words" because when Jack and Ana are discussing the disadvantages of the "handouts and equipment", Jack points out that there are "too many words" on the handouts. Ana agrees to write this down on the feedback form. |
| Q24 | new multimedia | Jack: How about teaching equipment? Ana: I do really love the new multimedia. It is perfect | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Jack asking Ana for her thoughts on teaching equipment, and Ana says she loves the new multimedia because it is perfect. Answer Explanation: The answer refers to the modern technology and audiovisual equipment used in the classroom. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is confirmed when Jack asks about the "teaching equipment" under the "handouts and equipment" section. Ana responds by saying that she loves the "new multimedia" and describes it as "perfect." This directly matches the form prompt for an advantage: "perfect [new multimedia]". |
| Q25 | Course structure | Let's turn to the second item. It is "course structure". Jack: I do really like Robert's balanced design of the course. Ana: Yes. I agree. He organised it very well | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Ana naming the second category on the form as "course structure," which Jack and Ana then describe as having a balanced design and being organized very well. Answer Explanation: The answer refers to the title or topic "Course structure", which describes how a university course is organized and planned. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "Course structure" because Ana moves to the second section of the feedback form by announcing, "Let's turn to the second item. It is 'course structure'." Directly under this topic, Jack and Ana discuss its advantages, such as the "balanced design" and that Robert "organised it very well" (good organization), followed by the complaint about having too much research work. |
| Q26 | first module | Ana: Don't you think we have too much research work in the first module | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Ana asking Jack if they had too much study and research tasks during the very first section of the course. Answer Explanation: The answer means the initial part or starting study block of the course. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is confirmed when Jack asks Ana for suggestions about the course structure. Ana points out that there was "too much research work in the first module," and Jack agrees and writes it down on the form. Therefore, "first module" is the correct phrase to fill in the blank. |
| Q27 | future job | Ana: The next one is "practical training". Well, I think it is a good chance for our future job, right | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Ana saying that practical training is a great opportunity or benefit for their upcoming career or work. Answer Explanation: The answer "future job" refers to the work or career a person hopes or plans to have later in life. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "future job" because when Ana moves to the section on "practical training", she comments that it provides a good opportunity for their "future job". Jack agrees with her. In the form, the advantage is summarized as "good for [future job]", matching the phrase from the audio. |
| Q28 | Assessment | Jack: Yes. Let's go on the next one "assessment". What's your opinion | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Jack introducing "assessment" as the next topic on the feedback form before they discuss presentations, exams, and essays. Answer Explanation: The answer "Assessment" refers to the section of the feedback form that evaluates how students' work and tests are graded and reviewed. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "Assessment" because Jack moves on to the next section of the feedback form by saying, "Let's go on the next one 'assessment'". Under this category, they discuss receiving quick feedback on presentations, the short exam duration, and having too many essays, which matches the items in this part of the table. |
| Q29 | presentation | Ana: Fine. I got my feedback really quickly of my presentations | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Ana explaining that she received comments and evaluation on her presentations in a very short time. Answer Explanation: The answer means a talk or speech given to an audience to explain an idea or topic. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is confirmed by Ana's comments under the topic of "assessment". When Jack asks for her opinion on assessment, Ana mentions that she got feedback very fast on her presentations ("really quickly" matches "quick"). Jack also agrees with her, making "presentation" the correct term to fill in the blank. |
| Q30 | writing skills | And I think we should advice Robert to help us to improve our writing skills | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript shows Ana suggesting that they should ask Robert to help them improve their ability to write. Answer Explanation: The answer refers to the ability to write well. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "writing skills" because Ana suggests that Professor Robert should help the students become better at writing. In the form, the note says "need to strengthen our", where the word "strengthen" matches the word "improve" used in the conversation. |
Transcript
Jack: Hi, Ana, what are you doing?
Ana: I'm filling in the feedback form.
Jack: What form?
Ana: The student feedback form for our course.
Jack: Oh, I really forgot that. What's the date for handing that in?
Ana: Tomorrow morning.
Jack: Oh, no. Have you finished?
Ana: Just beginning.
Jack: Great. If you don't mind we could do it together.
Ana: Of course. Do you bring your form?
Jack: Yes.
Ana: OK, let's begin with the top first.
Jack: It is a Course Name, Politics and Economics?
Ana: No. It is our faculty name.
Jack: Oh, sorry.
Ana: According to the course data from the twentieth March to twentieth June, I think the name of the course should be Global Economy.
Jack: Are you sure that it is economy not economics?
Ana: Definitely.
Jack: Alright. The next item is the name of our subject advisor.
Ana: Professor Robert Hansen.
Jack: Right. I like him very much.
Ana: Me too. He is very handsome.
Jack: Yeah. Just like me.
Ana: Yeah. Nice and humorous.
Jack: Yes. Let's see the first point on the evaluation form "handouts and equipment". What's your opinion?
Ana: I think the handouts are very good. I mean they are clear and sent out on time.
Jack: Yes. I agree. But do you think the words of handouts, well, may be too many words.
Ana: What do you mean?
Jack: I mean I have to spend so much time reading them just like reading a book.
Ana: Right. Let's put that down.
Jack: How about teaching equipment?
Ana: I do really love the new multimedia. It is perfect.
Jack: Yes. I agree, but the printer...
Ana: It is really bad. Too old and sometimes it doesn't work.
Jack: Should we suggest a new printer instead of the old one?
Ana: Why not? Let's turn to the second item. It is "course structure".
Jack: I do really like Robert's balanced design of the course.
Ana: Yes. I agree. He organised it very well.
Jack: Do you remember he sent out the course outline on the first class?
Ana: Yes, it is very clear.
Jack: I think it is a very good beginning and it is very important for a class.
Ana: Right. I gain confidence from him after the first class.
Jack: What about suggestions with course structure?
Ana: Maybe...
Jack: What?
Ana: Don't you think we have too much research work in the first module?
Jack: Research work?
Ana: Yes. We only had one research in the second module.
Jack: You are right. Let me put that down.
Ana: The next one is "practical training". Well, I think it is a good chance for our future job, right?
Jack: Yes. I agree. I learned more knowledge from that than from lecturers.
Ana: Right.
Jack: What about suggestions for improvement?
Ana: I think the department should supply more different places for us instead of just one.
Jack: Yes. Let's go on the next one "assessment". What's your opinion?
Ana: Fine. I got my feedback really quickly of my presentations.
Jack: Yes. Me too.
Ana: But I think the exam time should be adjusted.
Jack: Which type of exam?
Ana: Open-book.
Jack: Yes. I agree with you. Only 30 minutes is not enough.
Ana: Yes. Anything else?
Jack: What do you think about essay?
Ana: Too many.
Jack: Right. There are three essays in one module.
Ana: Yes.
Jack: On "other comments" what should we write?
Ana: Jack, what do you think about the teaching?
Jack: I like Robert's teaching method. It is very flexible.
Ana: Yes, me too. And I think we should advice Robert to help us to improve our writing skills.
Jack: Right. That's all?
Ana: Yes. That's all.
