Overview: Your advisor may well be one of the most
important people you interact with during your four years of college. As such, students
in INTD 133 are required to interview their advisor within the first 4 weeks of
the semester.
First
Steps:
q Call,
e-mail or drop by your advisor’s office to set up an interview meeting.
q Explain
what the meeting will be for (an interview as opposed to advisement)
q Prepare
a list of questions that includes the following:
Questions:
q Where
did your advisor attend college? Graduate school?
q How
did they choose their area of interest?
q What
other areas of interest might they be active in?
q What
do they think the professional opportunities within their field of study are?
q How
long have they taught at Oneonta?
q Where
did they come from before Oneonta?
q What
advice might they offer first year students in their department? In any
department? At any college campus?
q What
other thoughts might they want to share with you / our class?
Format:
q Using
the questions above as your template (and any other questions you might think
of), write a three-page profile of your advisor.
q Your
profile should read like a magazine interview or mini-biography.
q The
profile should be three (3) typed, double spaced pages.
Completed Interviews may be handed in during
class at any time but are due no later than October 2, 2013. I encourage you to
hand them in as soon as possible as this will ensure you get to know your
advisor. Late interviews will not be accepted. There will be no exceptions.
