Departamento de Ciencias Químico-Biológicas: Inicios y perspectivas de Asesoría Académica

The "Academic Advising Program in the Basic Area of the Department of Chemical and Biological Sciences" is a continuous program, which began in the 2008-2 semester at the request of the CIEES in response to the low approval percentage and high incidence of repeat students in the basic area. The advisories were developed by full-time teachers, assigned to the Department. Students were invited to participate voluntarily. The results obtained during the first year that the program was implemented are showed. In the first period attended by 58 students, of which 44 approved (75.8%) and 30 attended the second, approving 22 (73.3%). It is noted that a high percentage of volunteer students in the program, managed to pass the recidivists subjects. In the present study, it was possible to define the problem and thus allowed us to propose a potential corrective strategy to solve it.
