Comprehensive evaluation of academic advisors' styles and skills should incorporate ratings by consumers of such services (students) as well as peers and supervisors. This article offers multidimensional scales to assess responses to individual advisor performance (rather than overall program performance). The student scale contains the dimensions: social context, individual educational advice, and university procedures. The professional scale contains the dimensions: task competence, other orientation, and professional networking. All scales demonstrate high reliabilities (.85 to .95) and clear construct validity and are presented in their entirety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
