Now listen to two students discussing the article.
Female student: I don't like this at all.
Male student: Why not? She's done a lot for the philosophy department... like, well, hiring some great new teaching assistants ... and putting together seminars.
Female student: Well, she has trouble organizing schedules.
Male student: Whadda'ya mean? Female student: Well, she only realized last minute that she didn't have enough teaching assistants in the department, so some classes got cancelled. Male student: Oh!
Female student: And I wanted to take a special two-week philosophy course in Europe ... she was supposed to sign all the paperwork, but she didn't do it in time so I missed the whole trip!
Male student: Oh, wow. So organization's not her strong point, I guess.
Female student: Yeah. Besides, she's always critical. A lot of us on the team have complained to the university about her aggressive coaching style.
Male student: Oh, really? I met her... I mean, I thought she was nice.
Female student: Humph! Well, my friend ... she had some serious problems in her family. She went to talk to Professor Fox and...
Male student: Yeah? What happened?
Female student: Well, she wanted emotional support from someone she looked up to, but instead Professor Fox made all kinds of critical comments. Maybe she's good at philosophy, but she's not a counselor. When students go to the dean, they go because they need someone to talk to, not so someone can criticize them.
