The nursing student would like to talk with a faculty advisor prior to registering for next semester's classes. What is the best strategy for this student?
1. Catch the faculty member after a lecture and ask for a few minutes to talk.
2. Stop by the faculty member's office to see whether the faculty member has time to talk.
3. Call the faculty member and request a time to meet for advisement.
4. Talk to the faculty member in the cafeteria at school.
Correct Answer: 3
Faculty has multiple assignments and responsibilities. The best way to assure that the faculty member is prepared to help the student is for the student to call for an appointment. Although it might be more convenient for the student to catch the faculty member after a lecture or during lunch, the faculty member is likely not to be focused on the student's needs at those times. Dropping by the faculty member's office is the second best option, but the faculty member may be engaged with another student or another responsibility, so the best use of time is to call for an appointment.
