Mentoring a Scholars student preparing the Scholars Interdisciplinary Research Paper (IRP) is a rewarding challenge for many faculty members. The work involves helping the student to formulate her study’s leading questions and to develop and defend coherent answers to them. Each student has two faculty mentors. Each of her mentors is an expert in one of the two academic disciplines involved in her study. Service as a mentor involves helping the students to prepare several items, including the:
Mentors grade the progress of their mentees on these items. A student’s IRP grades determine whether he maintains good standing in the Scholars Program as well as whether he graduates with the honorary designation “Benedictine Scholar” or “Benedictine Scholar with Distinction”. The links below provide information and recommendations for mentors working to help their students prepare these items. They also provide guidelines for grading them. Mentors are encouraged to use these links to verify which students they are mentoring and to confirm the due dates for grades.
If you have questions about serving as faculty mentor, please contact the Scholars Director. |
