Computer‐assisted advising for dental students

Abstract

This article describes a computer‐assisted advising system that has been in use at the West Virginia University School of Dentistry for two years. Detailed breakdowns are given for the five data items making up the Student Advising Information Package, and the relevance of each item to the student advising process is noted. A discussion of the overall operation of the system provides information relating to software development for those schools that are now operating with computers or anticipate doing so in the future.
