Intensive Listening
（Stu）Excuse me, professor, I know your office hours is tomorrow but I'm wandering whether you are free to discuss something
（Professor）show , john, what do you want to talk about
well, I've some quick questions how to write up a the research project I did in master this semester about climate variations
oh, yes, you'll looking variation in great variation, right? how far long you beg have you gottden?
I've gotten all my data so I'm starting summary now, preparing graphs and stuff
but I'm just ... I'm afraid it's not enough, but I'm not sure what else to put in the report
you said the same thing for every student. you know, you have to remember now that you're the expert what you done. so think about what you'd need to include if you were going to explain your research project to someone general or casual know knowledge about the subject like parents. That's usually my rules rule of fund thumb：would my parents would understand this ？
ok, I get this.
I hope you can recognize by my thumbsaying that how much I do know about the subject ?
right, I understand. I was wondering if I should also include the notes from the research journal you suggested I keep.
yes, definitely. you should use them to do indicate what whichever evolution in thought was through to time. so, just sign set up, you know, what was the purpose of which we're doing to try to understand the climate vary ability variability in of this area, and what which you did, which you approach was.
ok, for example, I study middle logical Records.I looked at climate charts. I used different methods for analyzing the analysising data, like certain statistical tests, and I discuss disguise the results. It‘s that what you mean ?
Yes, that's right. you should include all of that. the statistical test is specially important. and also be sure you even include a good reference section where were all your published and unpublished data came from, can you have a lot of unpublished climate data.
um... something just came into my thing and went out the other side.
that happens to me a lot me so I've come up with a pretty good memory management tool . I carry a little pay pad with me all the time and jot I draw down questions and ideas that I don't wanna want to forget. for example I went to the docter with my daughter and my her baby son last week, we knew we wouldn't remember we want to ask the doctor, so we actually made a list of five things we wanted answers to.
a notepad is a good idea. sometime Since I'm so busy now at the semester, I'm getting pretty forgetful these days.
good, I'm was hoping you'd came up with it.
yes, It ends up I have data more than just the immediate great grant city area, so I also included some regional data in the report. when everything else it should be a pretty good indicate indicator of climate of a part of this state in this part of the state.
sounds good. I'd be very happy to lock over the a draft version before you hand in final copy, if you wish.
great, I'll plan to get you a draft next by next friday. thanks very much. Well, see ya.
ok.
