Everything You Have Always Wanted to Know About Academic Advising (Well, Almost)

“…That academic advising is also teaching is well established in higher education (Appleby, 2008;Creamer, 2000;Crookston, 1972;Ender, Winston, & Miller, 1984;Frost, Habley, King, Vowell, & White, 1995;Grites, 1994;Hagen, 1994;Miller & Alberts, 1994;Ryan, 1992).
