M: Excuse me, Mrs. Yuliya?
Y: Oh, hi...uh...Mahmudah, isn't it? Come in, Mahmudah. I
haven't seen you in quite a while, have I? How can I help you?
M: Well...if you have a few minutes... I need you to help me
sort out my credit hours. It's kind of an, uh, an emergency.
Y: OK, sit down. I've got a few minutes right now.
M: Thanks very much.
Y: So, what's the problem with your credit hours?
M: Well...um...I think I may not have the right ones. The ones I
need to graduate, I mean.
Y: What's your major again? Business Management?
M: Yeah, it's supposed to be. For Bus Ad, I still need to take
Global Economics- EC 303- and, well, I've got room for it in my schedule but,
erm...303's got a prerequisite, which I, uh, I haven't taken. EC 203,
Econometrics.
Y: Oh, that's just great. How did you manage that, Mahmudah?
M: Not paying attention. I didn't notice until now that I needed
303 to graduate, and didn't notice before that I needed 203 before. Is there
anything I can do now to fix this?
Y: Well, I'm not sure. It's possible that the dean would let you
take them concurrently. It's been done before, in extremis.
M: Well, that's what I'm in- extremis. The last term before
graduation and I'm stuck. Do you think he would, really?
Y: It's possible, if your grades are good enough and everything
else is in order. Are they? Is it?
M: Oh, yeah! My GPA's three point seven. And I've got all the
other required credits, and then some- I've actually taken more electives than
I need to.
Y: Hmm. Too many electives and missed a prerequisite. Good work,
Mahmudah.
M: Yeah, pretty dumb, eh?
Y: OK, well- they're both offered this term, I hope?
M: Oh yes. Global Economics is Tuesday-Thursdays at three pm and
Econometrics is the same days at eleven in the morning. Those would work fine,
except, uh....
Y: Except what?
M: Except I've already signed up for the second half of my
statistics course- Stats 202- at eleven.
Y: Is that a required course?
M: No, but it's highly recommended for business majors. And I
really need that math. Math is my weak point, I'm afraid, and I'm going to use
a lot of it if I go into finance like I want to.
Y: Mahmudah, do you know what, um, Econometrics is?
M: Sure! Uh... I guess- what? It's, uh, "measuring
economies"- "econo-" plus "-metrics"- isn't it?
Y: It's math, Mahmudah. Statistics. It's a course in the kinds
of statistics used in business, finance, and economics.
M: Oh!... Oh... so maybe I don't need Stats 202 then?
Y: That's right. Bus Ad makes sure you get the necessary math by
requiring Econometrics. But- you've taken Statistics 201 already?
M: Yes.
Y: Hmm. Listen- there may be another solution to this. The dean
might accept Stats 201-202 in place of Econometrics.
M: Really? That'd be great
Y: He might. Anyway, I'm going to have to call his office about
this- about both possibilities- right away. Let me just see what they say. If
you had a choice, which option would it be?
M: Uh... well, unless they really want me to take Econometrics,
I think it would be easier if I completed the second half of my statistics
course. I mean, then I'd have the whole course under my belt. But whatever the
dean wants- I'm happy to do whatever it takes to graduate on time.
Y: OK, good. Well, with two options, he may be more amenable to
exempting you from the prerequisite. Can you bring me a copy of your transcript
later today?
M: I've got one right here, Mrs Yuliya. Here you go.
Y: Ah. Mmm. Yes. it does look good, Mahmudah- three point seven
and a good scattering of 'A's, too! OK. I'll arrange to see the dean as soon as
I can- if not today, then tomorrow morning, I hope. And we'll try to get this
straightened out for you. Stop by tomorrow afternoon about three, will you?
M: Sure! And thanks. Thank you very much.
Y: OK. And don't worry too much. The dean can be quite flexible
in a good cause. See you tomorrow, then.
M: Thanks so much, Mrs Yuliya. See you tomorrow afternoon at
three.
