It is always to know where a student comes from and what the current situation is about.  This better helps you assist the student and their needs when obtaining knowledge and information about their potential school. 

It's good to know where our students are coming from, in order for you to understand your candidates cultures.

Being an active listener helps you to better understand your student's individual situation and how you might assist them to be successful in your program or figure out if this is the right program for them. 

 

I learned from this module the different listening techniques. Effective listening helps you to understand the students needs and figure out what is best to offer for them. 

An Admissions Representative quite often has to dig deep in their questions to bring to the surface what the students wants and needs are, and help put together a plan to help the student.

It's important to make a conncetion so the prospect feels comfortable talking - by listening and really paying attention you may be able to determine if your school is a good fit

Reply to Kimberly Taylor's post: Absolutely agree! :)  All cases are unique and every student needs a different approach. 

Digging deeper for an understanding of a student's background can only serve to help the student and the institution set up for greater success.

It is important to listen to the student needs and not make assumption based on previous experiences.

In order to be effective at admissions, listening to the students is one of the most important skills.

It is important to ask questions to learn what events lead to the student's unique situation.

 

Listening is really critical in building a relationship with your students. Students wants to be heard and they are seeking for understanding and solutions to their challenges. Every student have a unique situation so make sure to repeat, rephrase and reflect on the information they are giving you.

Such a great tip. It is so important to listen to the students needs in order to assist them better in their needs.

I think that this module is about understanding and finding common ground. This takes listenting so you understand the students needs. 

listeining is a skill, not necessarily a natural act.
