Alex: Hi, yes, I’m here about the email I got last night. It said my lit review for intro to cultural studies has been put on hold pending review. What’s going on? I need it today. I’m going to meet my tutor later to design the project.
I HEAR YOU ALEX, THAT SOUNDS FRUSTRATING. LET ME CHECK MY RECORDS, I’LL JUST BE A SECOND. CAN I OFFER YOU A GLASS OF WATER?
Alex: No thanks, I just need to know what’s happening.
OK, WHAT’S GOING ON HERE IS THAT YOU’VE ASKED FOR A LIT REVIEW THAT DEVIATES 40% FROM
THE TOPICS AGREED IN YOUR PRE-COURSE CHECKUP. AS YOU KNOW, THOSE TOPICS WERE DETERMINED FROM YOUR PREVIOUS STUDY AND YOUR MOST RECENT COMPREHENSION AND APTITUDE SCANS. IF YOU REFER TO YOUR CONTRACT ON THE SCREEN HERE, YOU’LL SEE THAT YOU AGREED TO STAY WITHIN 10% OF THE TOPIC SPACE.
Alex: okay, yeah. What happened was, I went to this talk last week, and it was about consumer culture…
SORRY ALEX, CAN I INTERRUPT. WAS THIS ON 2 OCTOBER WHEN YOU LEFT CAMPUS FOR 3 HOURS AND 22 MINUTES FOR WHAT YOU DESCRIBED AS A
‘CULTURAL EVENT’?
Alex: Yeah.
NOTED. IN ORDER TO PROCEED WITH THIS DISCUSSION, I’LL NEED ACCESS TO YOUR FULL GEOLOCATION DATA FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME, DO YOU CONSENT?
Alex: Um, yeah, okay.
THANK YOU. YOU WERE SAYING?
Alex: yes, so I got talking to this other person who was there, and they told me about this theory of cultural ideology and commodification, so I thought I’d ask for the lit review to cover that as well as the fashion topic space, so I could maybe see how they go together.
THANK YOU. A TUTORBOT WILL REVIEW YOUR RATIONALE. PLEASE
GIVE ME A MOMENT… OKAY ALEX, I’M HAPPY
TO REPORT THAT YOUR TUTORBOT HAS APPROVED THIS TOPIC DEVIATION. HOWEVER, YOU NEED TO LOG IN FOR A TUTORIAL WITH THEM TOMORROW TO DISCUSS PARAMETERS. DO YOU CONSENT?
Alex: Yes, okay. Thanks.
YOUR REQUESTED LIT REVIEW HAS BEEN CREATED AND A MEETING ENTERED INTO YOUR CALENDAR. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN HELP YOU WITH TODAY?
Alex: no, but Beth wanted to ask you something too.
