#1

Good afternoon, Prof. James. Thank you for seeing me today.

#2

Good afternoon, Hana. Please come in and have a seat.

#3

Thank you. I hope I am not taking too much of your time.

#4

Not at all. Office hours are exactly for this purpose. What can I help you with?

#5

Well, I wanted to ask about the history assignment that is due on Friday.

#6

Of course. Have you already started working on it?

#7

Yes, I have been reading the sources you recommended last week. But I need some clarification about the main question.

#8

I see. Which part of the question is unclear to you?

#9

I am not sure if we should focus on causes or effects of the event.

#10

That is a very good question. You should discuss both, but focus more on the causes.

#11

That really helps. Actually, there is one more thing I wanted to discuss. I was wondering if I could get a short extension on the deadline.

#12

I see. May I ask why you need more time?

#13

I have been sick this week, and I was not able to work on it properly.

#14

I am sorry to hear that. Do you have a note from the doctor?

#15

Yes, I do. I can send it to you by email this evening.

#16

That would be fine. I can give you an extension until next Monday. Please make sure the assignment is submitted before midnight.

#17

Thank you so much, Professor. Will this extension affect my grade in any way?

#18

No, it will not. Your assignment will be graded the same as everyone else's. Just make sure you do your best work.

#19

I will. Thank you for the clarification and for your help today.

#20

You are welcome, Hana. I hope you feel better soon. Take care.
