Narrator: Now listen to two students discussing the assignment.
Woman: I don't know about this.
Man: Why not? Sounds OK to me.
Woman: Thing is, depending on someone else makes me nervous.
My roommate had to do a project like this,
and the other girl didn't show up to meetings, didn't do any research.
My roommate had to do everything herself.
Man: That's a drag.
I guess if your partner's irresponsible, you're out of luck.
Woman: Exactly. It hurt her grade.
I don't want the same thing to happen to me.
Right now. I'm more concerned with getting a good grade,
even though I know that's not the lesson the professor has in mind.
Man: Still, it'll be good to listen to everyone's stuff.
Woman: Well, I don't know.
I mean, at the end of the semester,
people are focused on studying for exams.
Man: Yeah.
Woman: Who has time to put something like this together when they're busy studying?
Man: True.
Woman: I can't imagine anyone will be able to really do a good job with it,
and everyone will be so preoccupied by then that they probably won't listen anyway.
I think the professor is going to be disappointed. And students?
Well, we'll all just be frustrated by the whole thing.
