Cambridge Practice Tests for IELTS 1

SECTION 4
Lecturer:
Good morning and welcome to the University of Westlands. My name is Marcia
Mayhew and I’m the co-ordmator of the Bachelor of Social Science degree. This
morning I’d like to tell you about the structure of the university and about some
of the requirements of the degree that you’re about to enter. The Bachelor of
Social Science is in one faculty within the university, that is the faculty where I
Q32
work, known as Arts and Social Sciences. Here on this campus we also have the
faculties of Architecture, Law and Science and Technology among others.
It’s important to know something about the structure of the faculty because, as
you go through your course, you may need to call on members of the staff to help
you.
At the top of the faculty we have a dean and below the dean we have three
Q33
divisions; each division has a divisional head and your degree is located in the
Division of Social Sciences. Within each of the divisions, there are the departments
and each of these offers the different degrees. For instance two of the departments
which offer the major subjects for your award are Sociology and Psychology. Each
has a departmental head but for practical purposes the people you are going to
see the most of are myself as co-ordinator of the social sciences degree and the
actual lecturers who are teaching the subjects that you are taking. For instance in
the first semester you’ll be doing four subjects psychology sociology history and
Q34
economics.
If you have any problems or difficulties, not that I’m anticipating you will, but
you never know, then you should go and see your lecturers. For instance, you
may find that you can’t meet a deadline for an essay or perhaps you re having
Q35
problems with attendance. These seem to be the two most common problems that
Q36
students face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your lecturers are unavailable, you can always come and see me in my office.
I’m available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and on Friday afternoons
Q37
Outside these hours, perhaps you could ring the secretary and make an appointment.
Now you’ll note that all of the subjects which you undertake in the first year
are composed of lectures and tutorials. A lecture is about an hour long and a
tutorial usually runs for about two hours. A lecture is rather like what I am doing
now where one person will talk to all of you together on a subject. We do ask you
to try to attend the lectures.
A tutorial is perhaps where most of the learning occurs at a university. You will
be divided into groups of between 12 and 15 students and each week one of you
will have to present a piece of work to the group as a whole and then the group
will discuss what you’ve said. It’s this discussion, this exchange of ideas, which
Q38
really constitutes the basis of university learning, in my view. Listening to lectures
in many ways is just giving you information that you could access for yourself in
