What is probably the man’s position?

W: Dr. Steven, I am thinking about changing my major before the end of the freshman year.
M: What are you studying now?
W: I am taking three general requirements and American history and American literature this semester. Last semester I took four requirements and freshman French.
M: I believe it’s not to late to change your major because you’ve mainly taken general requirements which all freshmen have to take. Also we have twelve electives so the two-lit courses will be included in them, so you can change your major without losing any credit hours.
W: I am very happy to know I am still ’able to change my major. I am interested in writing newspaper articles, and after finishing my’ degree I would like to work for some newspaper firm.
M: Oh, I think you will be a good writer.
W: Dr. Steven, when do students start practical training?
M: They don’t begin practical training in reporting until the sophomore year. Journalism 121 normally is taken in the freshman year as a general background course.
W: I see. I will take the course next semester. Thank you very much for your help.
M: You’ve welcome. I look forward to seeing you in my department.
