The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of university instructors meeting individually with students early in a term to discuss the students' career goals and plans and how those may relate to the course. Two psychology instructors set up individual 15-minute meetings with students. Evaluation of the meetings involved evaluation questionnaires anonymously completed by the students. Responses from students in a psychology course at a public university in Australia (N = 29) and students in psychology courses at a private university in the USA (Ns = 21 and 28) indicated that almost all students who attended a meeting thought that the meeting helped establish rapport with the instructor and that the meeting provided them with useful information. The evaluation results suggest that meeting individually with students in courses leads to benefits for the students and is feasible, at least with classes of fewer than 30 students.
