Final Project

<-NARRATOR:-> Now listen to two students discussing the assignment.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> [doubtful] I don't know about this.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Why not? Sounds OK to me.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> 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.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> That's a drag. I guess if your partner's irresponsible, you're out of luck.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> 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.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Still, it'll be good to listen to everyone's stuff.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> [doubtful] Well, I don't know.
I mean, at the end of the semester, people are focused on studying for exams.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Yeah.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Who has time to put something like this together when they're busy studying?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> True.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> I can't imagine anyone' ll be able to really do a good job with it.
And everyone' ll be so preoccupied by then
that they probably won't listen anyway.
I think the professor's gonna be disappointed, and students? Well, we'll all just be frustrated by the whole thing.
