History and Philosophy
Advising Goals
- To see that students in history and philosophy complete
their program in a timely fashion.
- To match course
selection to student's goals.
- To encourage students to
take advantage of the opportunity to acquire a superior
liberal arts education.
Advising Policy
Each History and Philosophy faculty acts as an advisor for
student majors. It is expected that advisers meet with
each advisee at least once each semester. Faculty post times for
students to sign-up during pre-registration week. Regular
office hours and appointments are available for additional
advising for majors and non-majors.
Recent Changes and Future Plans
- To Improve Quality of Advising
- We have made no changes in our advising system. We
discussed assigning advising duties to only one or two
faculty to address the shifting problem, but determined
that it was not a useful idea. We are considering a
separate advising system for history-teaching option
majors that will involve some periodic contact following
their graduation. Otherwise, we believe the quality of
advising in the department is quite good.
- To Improve Accessibility of Advisors
- The question presumes that accessibility is now a problem.
That is false.
