Abstract	Freshmen frequently struggle with major decisions both in and out of school. Even if they attend required advisement sessions, they do not always have a clear idea which questions to ask and which information to share with advisor. Large numbers of students make poor choices and have unfortunate experiences as a result. To focus attention on some of the important choices that freshmen must make, the authors designed a case study to sharpen freshmen honors students' understanding of the advisement process. In this article, the authors discuss how they have run this exercise in six honors sections involving 500 students just before their mandatory advisement sessions. (Contains 2 figures.) (ERIC).
