The Sociology Department of State University has been receiving negative comments about its program from employers of the graduates of its department. As a result of these negative comments, the department has come to the conclusion that its graduates are not adequately prepared for jobs in their chosen profession because they are lacking expertise in certain areas. The faculty of the department considered this a very serious blow to the reputation of the department, so they began holding a series of meetings to determine the best solution to the problem. Considerable discussion of the problem and possible solutions ensued. As a result of these meetings, the faculty came to the conclusion that a change in the curriculum of the department was the best solution. Up to that point, the department required eight upper-division courses for a major in sociology, and the remaining five courses were elective courses selected from a variety of courses offered by the department. The department decided that the best solution to the problem they were discussing was to increase the number of required courses from three to five, so that a wider variety of topics could be covered in the courses required of all students, and decrease the number of elective courses from five to three, to keep the total number for the major at eight. The department announced the change in the number of required courses from three to five and also announced that this change would affect all students in the department immediately.
The reading passage explains that the Sociology department of State university has received negative comments about its program and presents various solutions. While, the listening passage explains why these solutions are improper for the students who are already through the course. There are various points presented in the listening passage that counterattack with the reading passage.
Firstly, the rule of State University states that the the change in curriculum can only take place when the students are entrying a program, not when it has started. On the other hand the faculty of department came to the conclusion that a change in curriculum of department is the best solution to there program.
Secondly, the State University states that the students who have started with the program could not be forced to follow requirement of curriculum change. The change of curriculum could be forced to the newly admitted students.
Thirdly, the older students had a provision of selecting three required courses and five elective courses. Nevertheless, the newly admitted students can be asked to choose five required courses so that there is wider variety of courses offered and elective courses to be reduced to three. These changes can be immediately implemented only for the newly admitted students not for all the students in the department.
