Mentor Courses
Student mentors who are awarded the University College Leadership Scholarship are required to also enroll in a one-credit hour mentoring course. There will be four courses total offered in a progressive sequence to build upon the mentor’s development over the period of four semesters. The first 2 courses are as follows:
UC 201: Mentoring: Introduction to Mentoring Techniques
This is an introductory course for students who will be serving in their first semester (year) as a student mentor. This course is designed to provide a foundation of mentoring knowledge such as the history of, nature of, and skills associated with mentoring. This will be accomplished through readings, discussions, and activities. Mentors will also be introduced to information about the university structure, active learning exercises to define and develop their own mentoring style and skills, and the diverse needs of undergraduate students. Attendance, class participation, purposeful integration of information, and self-reflective writings are essential for success in this course.
UC 202: Mentoring: Active and Collaborative Learning
This course is designed to help mentors learn more about mentoring as a collaborative process. This course will expand the mentor’s knowledge and skills by developing a deeper understanding of how students learn, collaborative learning techniques, and how to take collaborative learning into groups in which they mentor. Readings, discussions, and activities will be assigned in an effort to help mentors become better group leaders, understand role theory within groups and techniques for engaging students in active learning, and refine their mentoring relationships.
