advising styles

• Supporting: The advisor facilitates and supports the efforts toward task accomplishments and shares responsibilities for decision making with the student. Use this style with students that are just starting to understand the concepts that will lead to success.

advising styles

• Delegating: The advisor empowers the students to conduct their own decision making, problem solving, and delegating. Use this style with students that are at a high level of preparedness.
