Advisor Refuses to Advise First Year Against Taking 21 Credits: "It's a Canon Event"
Patrick Henry - August 16, 2023 - academics
As the First Day of Class comes closer and closer, first year students have been meeting with advisors who definitely are well informed about their advisees intended majors. One student in the E-School, Jack, has decided to enroll in 21 credits to “get a head start on his peers”, and it seems his advisor is simply letting it happen.
“This is a canon event,” said Professor Shirley, an Art History professor who specializes in Gaudì Architecture, “Jack needs to learn the hard way for the good of future first years. If I were to actually advise him I would be doing a disservice to the UVA student body.”
Our reporters expressed their doubts to Jack, which he simply laughed off saying, “Look, you guys don’t understand. My fourth year is going to be SO easy. Plus, I did 8 AMs everyday in high school, so how hard can it really be?”
