015 Track 15

The proposal described in the article is about extending the academic building's hours and hiring more teachers to accommodate students who are busy at night. The man doesn't think this proposal will work because students already have commitments at night such as jobs, families, and social events. He also believes that it would be more cost-effective to buy more computers instead of hiring more teachers and keeping the building open later. He mentions that computer prices have gone down, and there is enough space in the computer department classrooms to add more computers. Now listen to two students discussing the article. I just don't think this will work. Why not? Because it's not going to solve the problem. Students are busy at night. I mean, we have jobs, families, clubs, social events. Most of us already have something to do every single night of the week. I see your point. I sure couldn't fit anything into my schedule during the week. I've got swimming practice most nights. Right. And as far as expense goes, I think they're going about it the wrong way. I mean, it costs money to hire more teachers and keep the academic building open later, which is a lot more expensive than just simply buying more computers. More computers? That's right. Computer prices have come way down the past few years, so the department won't have to spend as much now as they did in the past. Besides, the computer department classrooms, you know, the rooms themselves, they're actually very big. There's plenty of space to add more computers. The man expresses his opinion about the proposal described in the article. Briefly summarize the proposal. Then state his opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
