Subject: questions about advisor system
Dear Colleague,
In my position as Academic Dean, I have been asked to take a look at our ad=
visor system between teachers and students. I would like to ask you a few =
questions about your advisor system, if you indeed have one, and would appr=
eciate it if you could take a few minutes to respond.
1. How often, how long a period and at what time of the day do teachers me=
et with their advisees?=20
2. Do you have a training period for teachers to make them more effective =
advisors?
3. Does an advisee normally stay with the same advisor for all 4 years?
4. Do you have advisor/advisee days or specific activities?
5. Is the advisor period structured (for example, are topics given to disc=
uss)?
