When Is Enough Enough?
Students begin their college experiences at various developmental levels and therefore are not all ready at the same time to engage in similar degrees of exploration, co-curricular activities, research, internships, study abroad, or even substantive discussions about educational paths they might take. How can academic advisers know (or learn) when and how much to push a student toward these kinds of opportunities and when to give the student time and space to develop? Advisers hope all their students will make informed decisions through active involvement in various educational experiences, but how much encouragement is too much; when is enough enough?
What is your opinion?
