Hello Dr. Meers,
I am not considering compromising the college, but rather to have the organizational knowledge that will enable the instructor to direct the student(s)to the correct source within the institution in order to get assistance.
For example by knowing the inner workings of financial aid I had been able to direct students through the application process for various grants and scholarships. Students are happier and I had gained their respect, admiration, and more important their attention during lectures.
