The document presents 3 case studies for advisors to discuss in groups: 1) A father insists his daughter major in business, despite her objections. 2) A student wants to change majors to the highest-paying option without consideration for interests. 3) A student has failed pre-algebra twice and struggled in anatomy, but wants to enter the nursing program which requires math and science proficiency. Advisors are instructed to develop open-ended questions, assignments, and plans to address each case in a typical advising session with limited resources.

- 4. Guidelines Treat all cases as if it is the first time you are meeting with the student. Assume you are a typical advisor with limited resources. (you decide as a group what is typical). Think about this case in the time frame of “they have time to make this decision or solve this problem”. This is NOT an exercise in solving the problem in 1 or even 2 sessions only. If you give the student an assignment to do something, you can assume they will do it and return with the assignment completed. Select a RECORDER to put your work on flip chart Select 2 REPORTERS to report out your work.
