Come in and sit down. 00:00:54,620 Thanks. 00:00:55,800 You're here to discuss your company-based IT project, aren't you? 00:00:59,980 Yes. I've been to see the manager, and he's given me a lot of ideas about projects that the company would find useful. But I wanted to ask your opinion about them before I choose one. 00:01:11,940 Yes, that's fine. Now, this company is called Turner's, isn't it? 00:01:16,060 That's right. It's a small engineering company. They make machine components for trade use. They're well established. They started in nineteen seventy-six, but they're a bit old-fashioned. 00:01:28,100 Okay. And what kind of projects did Turner's suggest you could do for the company? 00:01:34,220 Well, they want some improvements made to their customer database. Uh, the one that they've got at the moment isn't very useful in some ways. I had a quick look at it. 00:01:44,620 Mm. That would be a very straightforward project, and it'd be simple enough to evaluate, but I don't think you'd get enough out of a project like that. You wouldn't learn anything new. 00:01:57,650 Well, another project they suggested is to do with their online sales catalog. At the moment, customers can look at their products, but they can't actually order them online, which m-must affect their competitiveness. But I said I thought it would take too long. It's quite a big task. 00:02:14,600 You're right. It's too much for the time you've got. It's a pity, though. 00:02:19,120 Then they want some help with their payroll system. At the moment, the way they calculate pay involves a lot of manual accounting. I suggested they could have a system where employees register electronically when they arrive and leave work, so the hours they do could be transferred automatically. 00:02:36,360 Mm. I think you'd get a lot out of a project like that. It would extend your skills, but it wouldn't be too much to take on. A student did something similar a couple of years ago, but this is slightly different. 00:02:48,940 Mm. Well, then they need help with their stock inventory. They do everything manually. 00:02:54,380 Really? 00:02:55,000 Yes, [laughs] and it takes so much time. 00:02:57,540 Ugh. It's probably very inaccurate too. An electronic inventory would probably be the biggest single benefit for the company. I'm surprised they haven't had it done before. 00:03:08,640 I know. Then they wanted to improve their internal security. The manager had visited other companies where the staff use, uh, swipe cards to access various areas of the building. Sounded useful, but the trouble is, I'm not really sure how to do it. 00:03:24,100 Well, I think you're right in that assessment. At the moment, it's probably a bit beyond your level of knowledge. 00:03:32,180 Is that all? 00:03:33,000 Just one more. Customer service. They want to be able to collect feedback from their customers in a more systematic way. At the moment, it's a bit of a mess, and they probably lose business as a result. 00:03:44,100 Would that involve you going to see customers at their own premises? Because in that case, you might have to do a fair amount of traveling, and that would incur expenses that haven't been agreed with these companies. 00:03:56,840 Ah, I never thought of that. 00:03:58,800 Well, it might not be a problem, but it's something that needs clarifying. Well, I hope that's been helpful in narrowing down the options. 00:04:07,860 Yes, it has. Thanks. I'll be able to make a decision now. But while I'm here, can I talk to you about coursework? 00:04:14,140 Sure. 00:04:16,660 Now you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:04:26,080 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:04:33,480 I'm not very happy about the way our group assignment is working. There are some problems. 00:04:38,280 Oh dear. Are people just not getting on with each other? That's the worst thing. 00:04:43,060 Actually, we're all friends. It's not that. But when we're having a discussion about the assignment, one or two people end up doing all the talking and the rest don't say anything. It's a bit frustrating because we need plenty of debate. 00:04:55,880 Well, that's a common observation. You're studying in a group with people from all over the world, and you all have your own ways of participating. In some places, students are more used to listening than talking and vice versa. 00:05:10,660 Mm. I suppose you're right. I'll try to remember that. 00:05:14,520 Does everyone pull their weight as far as sharing the workload is concerned? 00:05:18,860 I'd say they do, yes. And our group elected a, a leader. She's very good at making sure no one's overloaded. But personally, I feel that there are just too many of us in the group. Whenever we try to arrange a meeting, there's always at least one person who can't make it. It's not anyone's fault. It's just that we've all got slightly different timetables. 00:05:41,400 Well, I'm glad you've talked to me about it. Feedback is always useful. Is there anything else you're concerned about? 00:05:48,760 Uh, there are a couple of problems with lecturers that all the students are talking about. 00:05:54,640 Mm. Last semester, we had negative feedback about the way lectures were organized. There were several occasions when the wrong room had been booked or the same room had been booked twice, that sort of thing. Is that still a problem? 00:06:09,640 That hasn't happened at all as far as I know. 00:06:12,020 Oh, good. It's sorted out then. 00:06:13,900 But I don't know the reason, but some of the staff often turn up late, so we miss ten or fifteen minutes of our lecture time. 00:06:22,260 It might be because they've been copying handouts for students. I think there's a queue for the machine sometimes. 00:06:27,180 Well, I'll look into that. Thank you for telling me. 00:06:31,500 Anything else? 00:06:32,820 The other thing is that it can be very difficult to get to see a lecturer individually. They're all very supportive and friendly when you do manage to find them, but often they're not in their office, even at times when they're meant to be available for consultation. 00:06:46,780 Okay. That's helpful. Now, before you leave, uh- 00:06:52,360 That is the end of part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21.
