5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for all acadmic advisors......, July 27, 1999
By A Customer
Having been an undecided student for almost a decade, I have developed a strong interest in both the process by which we choose academic majors and the problems that can lead to difficulty in making this very important decision.

Dr. Gordon begins by discussing relevent research into who undecided students really are and some antecendents to indecision. She follows with a chapter on different models for academic advising (advising centers, faculty advisors, residence hall advising centers, etc..).

My favorite section deals with types of undecided students. This chapter presents an excellent system for classifying students who are undecided and explains the reasons for their indecision. This knowledge allows for much more specific and effective interventions for these students.

Developmental advising, components of an effective advising program, and examples of advising programs currently operating on various campuses are also covered.

The book is written as a professional reference and would probably not be a good choice as "light reading" for the average person. In spite of that, it is very well written and the information it presents is outstanding.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with and advises college students.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Information, September 18, 2008
By 
This review is from: The Undecided College Student: An Academic And Career Advising Challenge (Hardcover)
This book is best for the research and theory driven. Lots of solid information and the research to back it up. The first 3 chapters really explore who undecided students are and why they are undecided. The last 3 chapters offer methods of best serving these students. Overall a great resource for anyone working with undecided/undeclared college students.
