Teaching Essential Skills

 

Mentors have learned over time how to get things done. Advisees will rarely have this knowledge, and mentors can be very helpful in showing their advisees what they have learned.

Here are some guidelines for teaching your advisee.

  1. As you meet with your advisee, begin to think what your advisee needs to know. You may observe these as weaknesses.
  2. Work through a live situation with your advisee where you can teach/guide as the situation unfolds.
  3. Once the situation has concluded, guide your advisee through a lessons learned session. This is a way to help your advisee see what further improvements are needed.

When you are teaching your advisee, you will probably find that you are also learning more than you ever realized about what you know.

Testimonials

  • My biggest improvements this semester have been going to tutors, creating study groups in my dorm, and keeping a calendar of quizzes and tests.  Last semester I was reluctant to visit the tutors because I thought that no one in the tutoring center would be able to help me with high level math.  Being in Calc 3 it can be very hard to find tutors who can help.  Another thing that really has helped me is making a study group for my statistics class.  I found two other people in my dorm who were in my class, so we made a study group.  It has really helped me stay on top of my homework in the class.  Finally, making a calendar with all of my test and quiz dates has eliminated any chance of me being surprised by a test or quiz in any of my classes..
