Did you go to Dr. Lee's study skills seminar for our economics course? I couldn't go. 00:01:07,400 Hi, Melissa. Uh, yes, it was very useful. 00:01:10,520 What was discussed? 00:01:12,080 Well, Dr. Lee started off by explaining that lectures usually give us the core material for any module, so we must keep good notes on what's presented in the lectures. 00:01:23,060 But what sort of notes? A summary, or do we have to note everything? 00:01:27,860 Um, apparently there'll be a chance to get some feedback on our note-taking after the Principles of Economics lecture on Thursday. Dr. Lee suggested we take along a photocopy of our notes to whichever class we've been allocated, and if we give them to the class tutor, then he'll discuss them with us. 00:01:46,820 Oh, okay. Also, I know that if I miss a lecture, then it's not the end of the world. The lecturers have normally provided a handout, haven't they? 00:01:55,810 Yeah. It could be anything from a brief summary of the main points to a fairly extensive presentation of everything covered in the lecture. 00:02:05,170 I see. Okay. The other thing is, I'm worried I won't be able to get through all the reading. There seems to be an awful lot. I wonder if it's all necessary. 00:02:16,200 Yes. In the study skills seminar, Dr. Lee said that some lecturers might give us very long reading lists. Apparently, we don't need to read everything on the list. You know, it's just an indication of the range of books and articles available if you're interested. 00:02:32,720 But don't they tell you which are particularly important? 00:02:36,080 Usually, yes, but the list can help if you're finding it hard to follow a particular topic. Also, if you have to write an essay on a topic, the reading list provides a good starting point. 00:02:47,160 Yes. I think my reading skills have definitely improved a lot. They're so important when you're dealing with large texts. I mean, it's pointless reading a book of two hundred or more pages to find information on one relatively small topic. Quite honestly, your time is better spent locating the parts you need, generally by using the contents page or index and only reading these. Even when you find the correct chapter, you'll sometimes be able to skim over much of it without reading too much in detail. 00:03:17,320 Yes. Also, I'm not sure how to deal with some of the research information. 00:03:22,980 What do you mean? 00:03:24,120 Well, in economics, you have to understand diagrams and analyze data charts. Like in the exams, we have to explain the diagrams without referring to a textbook. The data charts are more straightforward usually, though I find the theories behind economics hard, even when I know what I'm reading. 00:03:43,040 Hmm. I know what you mean. Anyway, did they say anything else useful in the tutorial? 00:03:49,140 Um, yeah. Dr. Lee said we need to take effective notes from books and articles. He said our notes should be fairly brief because it's rarely worth copying out large chunks of text. Instead, we should usually just make a list of the main points. As long as you make a note of the book or article you're using and the page where you found the information you need, then you can go back to the reference later if you want to check the detail of what was written. 00:04:17,959 Oh, right. 00:04:22,180 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:53,960 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:05:01,340 He also said that the university was running some support courses. I've got a list here. 00:05:07,460 Let's have a look. 00:05:09,380 Perhaps we should sign up for some. Look, this one here is on statistics for social science. That'd be good to do. 00:05:16,980 Yeah, we could both use that because we're not great at maths. Though I'm a bit worried it's run by Professor Blaine. 00:05:24,580 But we're bound to pick up something that'll be useful and help us with the subject. 00:05:29,080 Hey, what about this one on quantitative methods? I always have trouble explaining how I went about that type of research. The course is bound to go through some examples so we can see some sort of practical application of the theories. And we've got to get to grips with that quickly because there's only a short time before we need it. 00:05:47,920 Yes, you're right. There's also a course on pure mathematics. What do you reckon? Bit hard for us? 00:05:55,860 Uh, I don't know. It's really for people who are doing core social science. I think it's usually oversubscribed, but there might be some room left for other people. It might be worth asking if we could do the course. 00:06:08,480 But... Oh, hang on. This might be better. A background to economics. It'll repeat some of the stuff we did in the first term, so it's bound to cover research methods. 00:06:19,370 Yes, I agree. Oh, but it's intended for people in their last year, so that's no good, is it? 00:06:25,460 Oh. 00:06:26,500 And the last one is dissertation planning. Bit advanced for us, perhaps. We're not quite there yet, unless they're giving really basic advice. 00:06:35,880 Actually, that might be interesting because Dr. Brown is doing it, and he's normally very thorough, and his notes are useful, and it's not about maths. 00:06:45,900 Okay, well, let's go for that one. 00:06:50,780 That is the end of part three. 00:06:53,600 You now have forty-five seconds to check your answers to part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21.
