Hiya everyone..


I'll also be doing peer mentoring for Torts Law.

With regards to Torts, we’re not lecturers or tutors obviously, but we’ll be running small group session for an hour a week for about 5 weeks and our role will be to guide the group in discussion about what you want to talk about - be it assignments, readings or lectures and together as a group we’ll come up with answers and strategies. It’ll also be a fantastic opportunity to talk about getting used to uni life in a really relaxed and supportive environment and making sure everyone is happy and confident with uni expectations and procedures.

It’s very valuable in building self confidence and friendships, and in improving competence in Torts. There really are huge benefits from bouncing ideas of each other, nutting out problems together and articulating your thoughts. Just one of those is being able to build really comprehensive notes for your exam!

Many groups in fact continue to meet after their mentor has left.

Check out: http://www.uws.edu.au/students/ods/lsu/peermentoring for more info on peer mentoring in general or email me, 15933560@student.uws.edu.au for any questions. It'll probably start Wk2 and hopefully details of room and time will be on WebCT - though Thurs looks to be the day it'll run.

Hope to see you all there!

Thats because they number the doors and not the rooms. They are all the same. And that means that the auditorium has four room numbers. Lol.

Hey, i got an email to do peer mentoring next semester but problem is, it's on a different campus to the one I'm on now, so i have to travel an extra 30 min :\

So peer mentors, Is it really worth it and what do I get out of it? Also, is there further selection? And what does the training entail?

Thanks !

Heya,

I did PM AUT semester. It was good.
U do (well we did) a 2 day training session with like a simulation exercise, learn how to deal w/ different dynamics, what the 1st yr experience is like for diff ppl, how to to respond to diff questions, how to actually run a group.. exercises u can use..ur in contact at all times with the learning skills ppl. too if u need any help.

If another person is doing mentoring for ur subject u get to meet them...make friends with ppl in the training session ( I met some gr8 ppl. at the training)... meet ppl in first yr...it's just good experience generally in u know organsing material for the session...speaking in front of a grp... all that generic life skills stuff... u get to re-fresh urself on what subject ur mentoring in... ummm.. a cert and a co-op gift voucher.

Hope that helps.
