Advisor Tool Box

by Kari Ward

AT Teaching Center has test taking, note taking, and time management videos, as well as subject-related videos on chemistry, math, and physics.


 



Curious about how your first year students compare with the national average on topics ranging from adjustment, to time management, to expectations of college? Or about how many students have meaningful discussions about race and ethnicity?   Take a moment to peruse the Cooperative Institutional Research Program’s (CIRP) one page, illustrated reports on “The First Year is a Big Deal” and “Diverse Learning Environments.”  HERI, which is home to CIRP, has other reports and publications that are of interest to advisors.



Informal assessments make great tools for advisors.  Here is a fast, fun, and free Holland Code Assessment tool that you can administer to your students.  This online quiz helps students match their skills and interests to a particular work environment/job classification.
