“I see a lot of uses for this tool.

submit one as an assignment.:”

“ I can now have more contact with my

advisees.”

“It will help

students to avoid taking classes they don’t need and ensure that they take what they do need.”

“The Ed Plan gives students

the bigger picture.”

“I am going to have all of my advisees fill one out and bring it to

the advising session.”

“I like that it is online and accessible through any

internet site.”

“It’s about time!
