A. Take the introductory course (“I’d really suggest dropping back and starting at the usual place.”라고 언급한 부분에서 ‘입문 과정’을 먼저 수강하는 게 좋겠다는 것을 언급했음. 즉, 이 수업의 이해에 어려움을 겪는 이유가 입문 과정을 듣지 않아서였다는 것을 언급하는 부분에 나온 내용임. 그러나 문제에서 물어보는 것은 수업을 따라가기 위해서 교수가 조언한 것을 묻는 것임)

Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
Student
Hi, I was wondering if I could talk with you about the assignment in the film theory class.
Professor
Of course, Jill.
Student
It seems that pretty much everyone else in the class gets what they are supposed to be doing but I’m not so sure.
Professor
Well, the class is for students who are really serious about film. You must have taken film courses before.
Student
Yeah, in high school, film appreciation.
Professor
Hmmm…I wouldn’t think that would be enough. Did you concentrate mainly on form or content?
Student
Oh, definitely content. We’d watch, say Lord of the Flies, and then discuss it.
Professor
Oh, that approach, treating film as literature, ignoring what makes it unique.
Student
I liked it, though.
Professor
Sure, but that kind of class. Well, I’m not surprised that you are feeling a little lost. You know, we have two introductory courses that are supposed to be taken before you get to my course, one in film art, techniques, technical stuff and another in film history. So students in the class you are in should be pretty far along in film studies. In fact, usually the system blocks anyone trying to sign up for a class they shouldn’t be taking, who hasn’t taken the courses you are required to do first as prerequisites.
Student
Well, I did have a problem with that but I discussed it with one of your office staff, and she gave me permission.
Professor
Of course. No matter how many times I tell them, they just keep on…Well, for your own good, I’d really suggest dropping back and starting at the usual place.
Student
Yes. But I’ve already been in this class for 4 weeks. I’d hate to just drop it now especially since I find it so different, so interesting.
Professor
I guess so. Frankly, I can’t believe you’ve lasted this long. These are pretty in-depth theories we’ve been discussing and you’ve been doing OK so far, I guess. But still, the program’s been designed to progress through certain stages. Like any other professional training we build on pervious knowledge.
Student
Then maybe you could recommend some extra reading I can do to catch up?
Professor
Well, are you intending to study film as your main concentration?
Student
No, no. I am just interested. I’m actually in marketing, but there seems to be a connection.
Professor
Oh…well, in…in that case, if you’re taking the course just out of interest, I mean I still highly recommend signing up for the introductory courses at some point, but in the meantime, there is no harm I guess in trying to keep up with this class. The interest is clearly there. Eh, instead of any extra reading just now though, you could view some of the old introductory lectures. We have them on video. That would give you a better handle on the subject. It’s still a pretty tall order, and we will be moving right along, so you will really need to stay on top of it.
Student
OK, I’ve been warned. Now, could I tell you about my idea for the assignment?
