Teaching Rationale And Relationship
This academic mentoring is additional support offered present in person to the normal credit-bearing modules that a student in the school will take. The module supports the student experience in Stage 1 by embedding each individual with a small group of peers and providing an academic mentor for support and guidance. Their skills and knowledge are not summatively assessed during this module, but is foundational to the credit-bearing elements of the Stage 1 curriculum in the School.
