(Re)Visiting Academic Advising

“…13,23,24 Workshops with master advisors and providing clear, concise lists that simplify the curriculum are popular advising orientation options suggested by faculty. 13,23 Some scholars go so far as to suggest that ''Inot all persons are capable of advising'' 4(p448) and that advising should be assigned to those who want the responsibility. 13 Assisting faculty to develop as effective advisors is not without cost.…”
