2 points each.  That leaves 60 points for the essay—and our prof hasn't even told us the topic!

是的，每题2分。剩下60分就是论文的了——教授甚至还没有告诉我们题目呢！

P. S. please tel prof Nemur not to be such a grouch when pepul laff at him and he woud have more frends.

请告诉尼姆教受当别人朝笑他时皮气不要那么暴躁这样他就会有更多的朋友。

I needed to figure out a way of getting data and so I went to these Profs and asked, " What do you think" ? Right?

我需要找出一种获取数据的方法，所以我去找这些教授，问他们是怎么想的。

There's the textbook, probably 200 pages there (and that's slow going).  Also, the prof gave us a packet with 10 or more articles. We're to have the first four read before the test next week.

这是课本，大概有200页（而且读起来不轻松）。此外，教授还给了我们一套包含10篇以上文章的材料包。下周考试前我们要先读前四篇。

I know—but that doesn't keep me from feeling nervous about the test.  There are a few post-grads taking the course alongside us underclassmen.  I don't know if the prof is going to put us on the same curve or what.

我知道，但这并不能阻止我对考试感到紧张。有几个研究生与我们这些低年级学生一道上这门课。我不知道教授会不会把我们放在一起进行曲线评分，或者怎么样。
