Closing
The recommendations that we put forth were created for the school of IUPUI in order to better the undergraduate advising process for both students and advisors themselves to alleviate some stress that comes with advising. The recommendations are based on web-based research done by our group as well as public surveys created for undergraduate students and undergraduate advisors. The research and surveys were based on advisor and student time, the relationships between them, as well as the best ways to express the importance of certain advising goals to students. Based on our research, the 5 recommendations we have presented to IUPUI Advising are:
-
Advocating the Importance of a Four-Year Plan
-
Improving the Relationships Between Students and Their Advisors
-
Increasing the Availability of Walk-in Advising Meetings
-
Requiring Advisors to Participate in Annual Training Courses
-
