Narrator :  Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.

Student :  So Professor Tibets, your notes said that you want to see me about my heavy-weight paper. I have to say that grade wasn't what I was expecting. I thought I'd done a pretty good job.

Professor :  Oh, you did. But do you really want to settle for pretty good when you can do something very good?

Student :  You think it can be very good?

Professor :  Absolutely!

Student :  Would that mean you'd…I could get a better grade?

Professor :  Oh, sorry! It's not for your grade. It's…I think you could learn a lot by revising it.

Student :  You mean, rewrite the whole thing? I really swamped. There're deadlines wherever I turn and… and I don't really know how much time I could give it.

Professor :  Well, it is a busy time, with spring break coming up next week. It's your call. But I think with all a little extra effort, you could really turn this into a fine essay.

Student :   No… yeah…I mean, after I read your comments, I...I can see how it tries to do too much.

Professor :  Yeah. It's just too ambitious for the scope of the assignment.

Student :  So I should cut out the historical part?

Professor :  Yes. I would just stick to the topic. Anything unrelated to the use of nature EMITRY has no place in the paper. All that tangential material just distracted from the main argument.

Student :  Yeah, I never know how much to include. You know…where to draw the line?

Professor :  Tell me about it! All writers struggled without one. But it's something you can learn. That will become more clear with practice. But I think if you just cut out the…emm…

Student :  The stuff about history, but if I cut out those sections, won't it be too short?

Professor :  Well, better a short well-structured paper than a long paper that poorly-structured and wanders off topic.

Student :  So all I have to do is to leave those sections?

Professor :  Well, not so fast. After you cut out those sections, you'll have to go back and revise the rest, to see how it all fits together. And of course, you'll have to revise the introduction too, to accurately describe what you do in the body of the paper. But that shouldn't be too difficult. Just remember to keep the discussion focused. Do you think you can get it to me by noon tomorrow?

Student :  Wow…emm…I have so much…er…but I'll try.

Professor :  OK, good! Do try! But if you can't, well, sure for after spring break, OK?
