Last time I learned that the biggest problems people have with advising tends not to be lack of knowledge, but wait times. This is a problem pretty exclusive to college students, so I interviewed college students. I asked questions more specific to potential problems in the advising system. I learned that the primary problem people have with advising is wait times and odd hours. To future students taking this class, I would recommend taking the time to really think through your questions, not being afraid to approach random people, and making sure to keep track of deadlines!
I think you found a need that is commonly shared among college students here at UF. I also enjoyed your words of advice for future students and I think the most important piece you gave was to keep track of deadlines. This is equally important for class and a business idea. For example, I did not get to complete the first round of interviews because I waited until Sunday night to look at the assignment. I hope you continue to expand on your idea and maybe even consider interviewing an actual campus adviser about their perspective.

Hi Jordan!
ReplyDeleteI definitely relate to the problem you have recognized. Waiting for an advisor can take a long time, sometimes even when you have an appointment. I would have to agree with what the student said in the first interview, sometimes it's hard to find good follow-up information after an appointment. I almost wish there was a way to condense advising into one department. Sometimes it can be crazy when you have to talk to several advisors just to get one thing done.
