<p>Cal Alum, </p>
<p>Yes, I thought that whole section “Information for Academic Advisors” was pretty good. (I limited myself on the length of quote because the terms of service says not to quote at length.) It seems to be encouraging advisors to a higher standard.</p>
<p>All organizations have a group culture, and most academic departments have their own subculture. I guess my main question was whether the course 6 culture is really as unappealing as the advice to undergraduates on academic advising made it out to be. I found k4r3n2’s answer really helpful in this regard.</p>
