Research
Proposal
Williard
Sessler
Effective
communication
between
student
and
advisors.
Date:
November
9,
2015
To:
Dr.
Robert
Arnold
From:
Williard
Sessler
Subject:
Request
for
Approval
of
Research
Project
The
purpose
of
my
memo
is
to
request
the
approval
of
my
given
research
project.
I
am
interested
in
researching
how
students
and
college
advisors
communicate.
This
research
would
bring
insight
into
how
advisors
commonly
communicate
and
the
best
management
practices
for
effective
communication.
This
memo
is
meant
to
explain
why
this
subject
interests
me,
outline
what
research
I
have
begun,
and
explain
what
research
I
would
like
to
complete.
Current
Problem:
Many
students
get
wrongly
advised
on
what
classes
to
take
and
how
best
plan
for
their
educational
career.
This
can
be
seen
in
large
numbers
of
students
taking
longer
than
four
years
to
obtain
a
degree.
I
myself
have
taken
classes
that
I
didnt
need
because
of
being
poorly
advised
hours
that
looking
back
now
could
have
been
used
to
better
position
myself.
I
believe
this
is
a
problem
in
the
university
system
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
My
research
is
meant
to
bring
insight
into
this
process
and
provide
some
best
management
practices
moving
forward.
Objectives:
To
better
understand
how
advisors
and
students
communicate
to
aid
in
determining
if
the
current
method
is
effective
in
developing
the
student
and
the
university.
