Perceived Quality of Academic Advising: The Effect on Freshman Attrition.
Metzner, Barbara S.
American Educational Research Journal, v26 n3 p422-42 Fall 1989
The effect of the perceived quality of academic advising on student attrition was studied for 1,033 first-time freshmen at a public urban university. High quality advising reduced attrition. Low-quality advising was less successful in reducing attrition, but was associated with less attrition than was no advising at all. (SLD)
