Mentors work through course materials ahead of time to anticipate student needs and questions.
A. Mentors are supported by FSU faculty, advanced graduate assistants, and management staff, as well as by fellow Mentors. FSU will provide orientation and professional development opportunities to help familiarize Mentors with the mentoring role and with the course they have been hired to support. FSU will solicit input from Mentors for the purpose of program improvement. The workload for Mentors will vary from course to course and will depend on the number of students assigned to the Mentor. The role of Mentor allows substantial flexibility in the time of day that work is performed.
