　　[00:00.00]Test Ten

　　[00:24.35]SECTION A MINI-LECTURE

　　[00:26.54]In this section, you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:29.82]You will hear the lecture ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:32.45]While listening, take notes on the important points.

　　[00:35.94]Your notes will not be marked,

　　[00:38.13]but you will need them to complete a gap-filling task after the mini-lecture.

　　[00:42.07]When the lecture is over, you’ll be given two minutes to check your notes,

　　[00:46.78]and another 10 minutes to complete the gap-filling task.

　　[00:49.84]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[00:52.13]Introductory Lecture to University Study

　　[00:56.19]Good morning and welcome to the University of Westlands.

　　[01:00.12]My name is Marcia Mayhew

　　[01:02.41]and I’m the co-ordinator of the Bachelor of Social Science degree here at this university.

　　[01:07.34]This morning I’d like to tell you something about the structure of the university

　　[01:11.49]and about some of the requirements of the degree that you’re about to enter.

　　[01:15.77]The Bachelor of Social Science is in one faculty within the university:

　　[01:20.36]that is the faculty where I am working, known as Arts and Social Sciences.

　　[01:25.28]Here on this campus we also have the faculties of Architecture, Law,

　　[01:30.42]and Science and Technology among others.

　　[01:33.92]First let’s take a brief look at the structure of the faculty.

　　[01:37.42]It’s important to know something about the structure of the faculty because,

　　[01:41.35]as you go through your course, you may need to call on members of the staff to help you.

　　[01:45.95]Our university works as a hierarchical system.

　　[01:49.67]At the top of the faculty we have a dean and below the dean we have three divisions;

　　[01:55.47]each division has a divisional head and your degree is located in the Division of Social Sciences.

　　[02:02.20]Within each of the divisions,

　　[02:05.26]there are the departments and each of these offers different degrees.

　　[02:09.30]For instance, two of the departments which offer the major subjects for your award

　　[02:14.45]are the Department of Sociology and the Department of Psychology.

　　[02:18.93]Each has a departmental head, but for practical purposes,

　　[02:24.05]the people you are going to see the most of is myself,

　　[02:27.88]because I work as coordinator of the social sciences degree

　　[02:31.60]and serve as a bridge between you and the departments.

　　[02:34.34]The other group of people whom you will also see very frequently are the actual lecturers

　　[02:40.46]who are teaching the subjects that you are taking.

　　[02:42.87]For instance, in the first semester you’ll be doing four subjects,

　　[02:47.46]namely psychology, sociology, history and economics,

　　[02:51.94]so you will be meeting lecturers of these subjects very often.

　　[02:55.55]Most likely, you may see them once a week, but some of them,

　　[03:00.04]it is possible for you to meet them twice a week.

　　[03:02.34]If you have any problems or difficulties,

　　[03:05.62]not that I’m anticipating you will, but you never know,

　　[03:09.12]then you should go and see your lecturers.

　　[03:11.52]For instance, you may find that you can’t meet a deadline for an essay,

　　[03:15.68]or perhaps you’re having problems with attendance.

　　[03:18.42]These seem to be the two most common problems that students face on this campus.

　　[03:23.23]In most cases, your lecturers will help you to solve your problems.

　　[03:27.71]If your lecturers are unavailable, you can always come and see me in my office.

　　[03:33.62]I’m available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and on Friday afternoons as well.

　　[03:38.76]Outside these hours, perhaps you could ring the secretary and make an appointment.

　　[03:43.90]Usually I will find the earliest possible time to see you and discuss your problems.

　　[03:48.76]Now, you’ll note that all of the subjects which you undertake in the first year

　　[03:53.38]are composed of lectures and tutorials.

　　[03:56.33]A lecture is about an hour long and a tutorial usually runs for about two hours.

　　[04:02.02]A lecture is rather like what I am doing now,

　　[04:05.08]where one person will talk to all of you together on a subject.

　　[04:08.69]We do ask you to try to attend the lectures.

　　[04:11.64]A tutorial is perhaps where most of the learning occurs at a university.

　　[04:16.67]You will be divided into groups of between 12 and 15 students

　　[04:21.16]and each week one of you will have to present a piece of work to the group as a whole

　　[04:26.08]and then the group will discuss what you’ve said.

　　[04:28.82]It’s this discussion, this exchange of ideas,

　　[04:32.53]which really constitutes the basis of university learning, in my view.

　　[04:36.80]Listening to lectures in many ways is just giving you information

　　[04:40.74]that you could access for yourself in the library,

　　[04:43.36]but the discussion at the tutorial is very important.

　　[04:46.54]This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go to the lectures, though!

　　[04:50.04]Other factors to be particularly concerned about are the structure of essays

　　[04:56.27]and delivery of written material and in particular

　　[04:59.44]I would like to mention the question of plagiarism.

　　[05:02.50]Plagiarism is taking other people’s work without acknowledging it,

　　[05:06.99]that is, without saying where it comes from.

　　[05:09.73]Of course all essays are based on research done by other people

　　[05:13.77]but you must remember to attribute the work to the original writer.

　　[05:17.82]And while it’s a good idea to work with other people,

　　[05:21.10]don’t hand in work which is exactly the same as your friend’s work

　　[05:25.37]because we will notice! If you don’t acknowledge the source of your information,

　　[05:29.50]then you run the risk of failing the subject

　　[05:32.67]or in very serious cases you might be denied entry to the university.

　　[05:37.49]Last but not least, stay in touch with us.

　　[05:41.53]If things are getting you down, don’t go and hide.

　　[05:44.70]Come and talk to us about it. That’s what we are here for.

　　[05:48.09]Right, thank you very much for coming along today,

　　[05:51.59]and hope you’ll enjoy your stay on this campus.
