Which of the following statements are not true regarding the role of Program Advisors?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Topic: evaluating statements about the role of Program Advisors. 
Option a: 'My personal Program Advisor will help me with my courses.' If we treat this as not true in the given context, we would be claiming Program Advisors do not assist students with course selection, content, or understanding course requirements. In many programs, advisors focus on planning, registration, and progress tracking rather than direct tutoring or course-specific help, so declaring they will help with courses could be misleading. Therefore labeling this as not true challenges common expectations that advisors sometimes provide course guidance, making this claim questionable.
Option b: 'My personal Program Advisor will check on my progress each week.' Claiming weekly progress checks would imply a high-touch, frequent monitoring role. If this is deemed not true, it suggests advisors do not engage in regular weekly check-ins, which could be accurate in some programs that instead rely on periodic reviews or self-reporting. As a statement about their frequency of contact, saying weekly checks occur is not universally accurate, and could be deemed not true in this context.
Option c: 'My personal Program Advisor will give me feedback on grades received.' This asserts evaluative feedback from the advisor on academic performance. In many frameworks, instructors or tutors provide grade feedback, while advisors may discuss progress and planning rather than grade-specific feedback. If this is considered not true, it aligns with the view that grade feedback is outside the advisor’s typical remit, making the statement inaccurate within this context.
Option d: 'All the above are not true statements regarding the role of Program Advisors.' This umbrella claim asserts that none of the statements in a–c accurately describe the advisor’s role. If a, b, and c are each deemed not true for the given program, then d correctly captures the intended interpretation. In other words, the two-layer idea here is that if none of the specific roles apply, the collective statement that all above are not true becomes the true descriptor of the advisor’s scope.
Summary: evaluating each option, a, b, and c present specific claims about typical advisor activities. If the contextual definitions used for Program Advisors in this question indicate those activities are not part of their role, then each of a–c is not true. Consequently, the only option that coherently aligns with that overall assessment is d, the assertion that all the above statements are not true. 
Note on interpretation: when multiple statements reference related aspects of a role, the accuracy of each depends on the program’s defined scope. Here, the provided correct choice hinges on treating a–c as incorrect descriptions of the advisor’s duties, thereby making d the correct overarching claim.
