Reciprocal Hearts Event/Student Evaluations
Man with Headphones
You: The young man over there doesn't look very friendly...
You: (So many people like to walk with headphones on these days.)
You: (I should talk louder in case he can't hear me.)
You: (Since he is a student, he can do the evaluation. I should go ask him.)
You: Hi there. Did you also take the "Introduction to Psychology" course?
Man with Headphones: Come again? I didn't hear you.
You: I said, did you also take the "Introduction to Psychology" course!?
Man with Headphones: Yeah, what's the matter?
You: I'm Professor Richter's TA. May I ask you a few questions about this course?
Man with Headphones: Can you be quick? I'm in a hurry.
You: What do you think about the "Introduction to Psychology" course?
Man with Headphones: Not bad.
You: Can you talk about it in more detail?
Man with Headphones: Tsk. I don't have much to say about it.
You: I see...
You: Do you think there is anything about this course that could be improved?
Man with Headphones: Run it more often.
You: Wha?
Man with Headphones: I said, more sessions! I don't want to waste my time trying to snatch slots all the time.
You: So you do want to go to the class, don't you?
You: (It seems he's actually really into it.)
Man with Headphones: ...Whatever. If you don't have any other questions, then let's just end it here.
You: What is your impression of Professor Richter?
Man with Headphones: I guess he's one of the few professors that can hold my attention for more than a minute.
Man with Headphones: I'll give him a good review since he's not like any of those old guys.
You: (Can he be any more frank about it...?)
You: Err... Do you have any idea what Professor Richter likes?
Man with Headphones: What he likes? Are you getting him a birthday present?
You: That's right.
Man with Headphones: As his assistant, shouldn't you know?
Man with Headphones: ...Forget it, I'll just tell you. He often goes to the bookstore at the entrance. A book would be good.
You: A book? Sounds good.
You: Thanks!
You: You know when Professor Richter's birthday is?
Man with Headphones: ...I just happened to see it.
You: You seem to care about Professor Richter a lot.
Man with Headphones: ...Whatever. If you don't have any other questions, then let's just end it off here.
You: May I ask what kind of music you are listening to?
Man with Headphones: Huh? Does this have anything to do with the evaluation?
You: No... Just curious.
Man with Headphones: ...Whatever. If you don't have any other questions, then let's just end it off here.
Man with Headphones: That's it?
You: Done. Thank you for your time.
Man with Headphones: Humph, you don't look professional at all. Such a waste of my time.
You: (Can't he say anything nice!?)
Vera Walton
You: Hey, it's Vera!
(The wound on her wrist is healing.)
(She should be off the suicide watch now.)
(It's been a long time. I should go talk to her.)
You: Vera, nice to see you again.
Vera Walton: Miss [Player]! Are you here to help Professor Richter again today?
You: Yes. Professor Richter asked me to give you this evaluation. He wants to know your opinions about his course.
You: I also have a few... small questions to ask you about Professor Richter.
Vera Walton: Of course. Thanks to you, I can...
Vera Walton: Feel free to ask me anything you want to know.
You: What do you think about the "Introduction to Psychology" course?
Vera Walton: Hmm... I really like it.
Vera Walton: Even though it's a public elective, you can really learn a lot about psychology.
Vera Walton: Though, it might be hard to get an "A."
You: As a student, what do you think of how Professor Richter conducts his lectures?
Vera Walton: ...He's very knowledgeable and speaks in detail.
Vera Walton: Even students like me who don't know anything about psychology can learn a lot from him.
Vera Walton: His course is super popular, so it's usually packed. There were a couple of times where I was late and had to stand for the entire lecture.
You: You stood the whole time?
Vera Walton: Yeah, because his lectures are just that fascinating. Before you know it...
You: That popular, huh? You make me want to check it out too.
You: (I should audit his public course if I have the chance.)
You: Hard to get an "A?" Are the tests hard?
Vera Walton: Most of the questions are pretty basic — it's the last few questions that are tricky. They're mostly open-ended questions.
Vera Walton: Professor Richter values independent thinking, and he always encourages us to speak our minds.
Vera Walton: He wouldn't intentionally make things difficult. Although few people get "A"s, you'll be fine as long as you listen to the lecture and review accordingly.
You: That does sound like his style of doing things.
You: It's one of the reasons why his students like him so much.
You: Do you think there is anything about this course that could be improved?
Vera Walton: Sorry. I can't think of any suggestions for Professor Richter at the moment.
Vera Walton: Let's go to the next question.
Vera Walton: Sorry... I don't know much about Professor Richter's personal life. He rarely talks about himself.
Vera Walton: May I ask... If you're preparing a gift for him?
You: Yeah. Dr. Richter's birthday is coming up, so I want to prepare a little surprise for him.
You: Keep this a secret from him.
Vera Walton: Yeah, sure thing.
Vera Walton: Miss [Player], have I been of any help?
You: Of course! Thank you so much!
Vera Walton: You're welcome. I'm sure the Professor will have an unforgettable birthday.
Vera Walton: Please give him my birthday wishes.
You: Sure. No problem.
Winnie Cooper
Winnie Cooper: Miss [Player], what a coincidence to see you here.
You: Winnie, you also chose Professor Richter's open lecture?
Winnie Cooper: Yup, I came to Stellis University today for the lecture!
You: I'm his TA now, and I'm collecting the questionnaire for his course evaluation. Do you have a minute?
Winnie Cooper: Wow, you are a lawyer and TA at the same time? Of course you can! I'm all ears!
You: What's your take on the "Twenty Lectures on Psychology?" course?
Winnie Cooper: I'm way into it! Professor Richter is a great lecturer.
Winnie Cooper: Stellis University is not far from my place, so I've never missed a class.
Winnie Cooper: Right... Sorry. I'm not a psych major, so there's not much for me to offer...
Winnie Cooper: Can we move on to the next question?
You: What are your thoughts on Stellis University?
Winnie Cooper: Well... generally, it's not as good as National Central University, but the engineering disciplines are top-notch.
Winnie Cooper: Also, both the teachers and students here are quite nice.
Winnie Cooper: But, does this have anything to do with the professor's classes?
You: No. I'm just curious.
You: Let's move on to the next question.
You: What is your impression of Professor Richter?
Winnie Cooper: He is nice and he knows a lot. Like, seriously.
Winnie Cooper: And... he has a sort of regalness about him. Something I don't have. Overall, I guess he's a bit of a mystery.
You: Do you have any suggestions on how to celebrate a birthday?
Winnie Cooper: A birthday party? Well... sorry, I'm not really someone you should be asking.
Winnie Cooper: When I was young, my mom used to make a cake for me. Nothing special.
You: Cakes are great too! Don't worry about it. Let's move on to the next question.
Winnie Cooper: His preferences? He'd play classical music for us sometimes, saying that "music lifts the mood."
Winnie Cooper: So I think he likes classical music a lot... But that's just my guess.
Winnie Cooper: How about a classical music record as a gift?
You: A music record? That's a pretty nice idea. Thanks for the tip.
You: Done. Thank you for your time.
Winnie Cooper: Yep. See you, Miss [Player]. Please send my regards to Professor Richter.
You: Sure. Bye!
