Question: What do you find to be the most rewarding aspect of academic advising?
Response Rate: 66.67% (8 of 12)

1 The ability to have a one-on-one advising allows for a more honest and direct formation of one's class schedule. 
2 Someone to help keep me on track to graduate! 
3 Making sure I’m on track and taking the right classes to reach my goals by the end of the four years. There were a couple classes I wouldn’t have known to take or push
back on my own, which is where my advisor helped me, explaining the availability of each one and when it would make the most sense to take it. 
4 It gives us connections with at least one professor for classes. 
5 Helpinng your advisee figure out what they want to do when they finish school and helping them get there. 
6 Having a faculty member to go to that can answer my questions and concerns about school and that I trust will help me do what they can to make sure I'm successful. 
7 Being able to have someone who can easily show you the best way towards your goals 
8 Aside from the constant willingness to accommodate any need or query I may have academically, I think what I find to be Prof. Herbertz's best quality is him treating me
with respect, like a peer. Him making himself available to just stop by and talk about anything is a luxury I think many students wouldn't feel they have with an advisor. 

Question: What do you find to be the most frustrating or dissatisfying aspect of academic advising?
Response Rate: 58.33% (7 of 12)
This is a pro but also a con: All advisors/teachers will give you different answers. This is great to make you consider a variety of options but also is frustrating because
1 if you're undecided or wanting to pursue multiple majors, everyone will have a different opinion for you. I went not only to my advisor but also teachers in the
Communications and Art department. I ended up following my teachers' advice rather than my advisor. 
2 The crunch for meetings toward the end of the semester 
3 Nothing 
4 Nothing really. 
5 None really come to mind. I am a double major so scheduling classes is a little difficult and I have to run back and forth between advisors a couple times, but that’s not
really anyone’s fault, gotta do what you gotta do. 
6 Leaving my room. 
7 I found myself needing to switch advisors but now that I'm with an advisor that I work well with I'm satisfied with academic advising. I don't understand the importance
of group advising. 
Faculty: Matthew Herbertz
Question: In what ways might our academic advisement system be improved?

Response Rate: 58.33% (7 of 12)

1 Not sure. 
2 Maybe if you have two advisors they should be in contact with each other? That might make the scheduling process easier and save some time. Overall though it’s a
good system and I’m happy with it. 
 Make sure that advisors healp student make a 3-4 year plan, or at least a one year plan to decide what would be most beneficial and productive for their class
3 schedules. Advisors would help more if they helped students consider all options available to them or refer them to another faculty who could help them (like Herbertz
did). 
4 Keep Matt Herbertz. 
5 It’s amazing 
6 It was perfect 
7 Creating an opportunity for all students to accept or deny an advisor change at the end of their freshman year so that if you don't care for your advisor but aren't sure
about telling them you don't have to worry about the stress that comes with approaching them face-to-face about switching. 
