Full Conversation
Professor, could I ask a question about the assignment before I leave?
Yes, I have a minute. Let us look at it together.
I am not sure whether the example should come from the case study or from another company.
That is how I understood it too. We can compare the details.
Great. I just want to make sure I have understood everything correctly before we continue.
No problem. It is always better to confirm the details than to guess.
If I use an outside example, should I explain why it is relevant to the concept?
Yes, that sounds right. It should make the task clearer.
Okay, I understand. Let me repeat the main point in my own words so I remember it.
Perfect. Go ahead. If anything is missing, I will correct it.
Thank you. I understand the requirement now, and I will submit it by the deadline.
Good plan. Let us follow that and check again if anything changes.
Thank you. That makes the situation much easier for me.
You are welcome. I am glad we could sort it out clearly.
