MODEL3   Publish or perish
Script
Chris:          Tell us, Professor Grant, What are your primary duties as a professor?
Professor Grant: Well, I do a lot of research and writing. It’s rough being an associate professor. It’s publish or perish.
Chris:          So you spent a lot of time in your office?
Professor Grant: Yes, but I also have to prepare class motes¹, give lectures, hold office hours. Teaching is an important part of being a professor.
Chris:           With all those responsibilities, you must make a lot of money.
Professor Grant: I wish. Actually, I spend a lot of tome applying foe² grants to fund my research. Then I can offer assistantships and scholarships to the worthy³ graduate.
Chris:         I see why they call you “the boss”. But being a professor sounds pretty competitive.
Professor Grant: Actually, I think you were in one of my classes…
Chris:          Um….I think you’re mistaken, Professor Grant!
Professor Grant: No, I remember very clearly now! You owe me an essay!
Chris:         Sorry, I have too much work to do for the Student Union Newsletter, and I have to work two jobs to pay for school.
Professor Grant: So you get an F in this course.
