The mentor is the students communication link with the University. Mentors maintain at least a weekly contact with their students. Additionally, students are required to maintain weekly contact with their mentors.
Mentors grade all homework and quizzes turned in by their students.
Homework will be commented with suggestions as to how a student can improve their performance on assignments. Students may ask their mentor questions pertaining to their assignments. Questions can come in the form of e-mail, a phone call to the mentor, or a message on the chat from within the NetMath Student Center. Mentors will pass any questions they can't personally answer on to the appropriate University person. Students can use Timbuktu to share a screen with their mentor.
