Mentoring Examples
Many of these examples have been adapted
from Schreyer Institute information
One of the primary responsibilities of a mentor is to share resources with their mentees. This might include suggesting articles related to a research project or field-related organizations. Given the large number of students in some classes, a professor may answer the same research and resource questions several times. Technology allows you to present valuable information and minimize the time spent answering questions from students. There are several ways to provide resources to your students:
- Submit your library reserve list electronically
- Create a FAQ page on your class Web site and post both questions and answers. Explain to your students this should be their first step before asking the professor a question.
- Create a list of field related articles, journals, texts, organizations or affiliations, databases, and related on-line resources. This list can be available via the Web or as a PDF file and updated when necessary.
