LISTENING+3

3. Listen to the passage. On a piece of paper, take notes on the main points of the listening passage.  Hey, Alice. Did you read the syllabus from Professor Thompson's class? I looked it over. Well, did you see the part about the assignments? You mean the part describing the assignments, what we have to do for each assignment?  No, I mean the part about the due dates for the assignments.  Oh, you mean the part about late assignments, about how the professor doesn't like late assignments? Yeah, that part. It seems kind of strict, doesn't it?  You don't think he actually means it, do you, that he won't accept any late assignments even if we're sick?  Actually, I'm quite sure he does mean it, absolutely. Why are you so sure of that? Because that's how he's always been, from what I know. I heard about a student who was in his class, and this student was in an accident on his bicycle, one that wasn't his fault, and he was in the hospital. He'd even broken his arm and couldn't write, and Professor Thompson wouldn't even accept any late papers from him. Not even from a guy who was in the hospital with a broken arm and couldn't write because of the broken arm?  Not even from him. Well, then, I guess Professor Thompson's pretty serious about the policy on late papers. He certainly is.
