Step 3
A: Professor, I'm concerned about my grades. Do you have a minute? B: Of course, how can I help you? A: I want to know if I am doing OK. B: Let's pull out your scores so far. Do you think you are doing OK? A: I am afraid that I might not be doing all that well. B: I'm seeing that you are doing OK in some areas, but not so well in others.
