Notes to mentor
13) Appendix 2 – Notes to help your Mentor
PLEASE GIVE THESE THREE PAGES TO YOUR MENTOR
Thank you for agreeing to be a mentor for this programme. The notes below outline what the student will expect of you and what Oxford Brookes University would like you to do to help the student towards obtaining the Oxford Brookes University BSc (Hons) Applied Accounting degree. You should be interested in the progress of the Project but you are not expected to be a tutor. You would normally listen to the student‟s plans and may ask questions to help them reflect. If you can help the student think clearly about what they intend to do, then it will be an enormous help to them.
The student will need to have at least three meetings with you and what the student has to do in these three meetings is detailed on the next page.
Attached, also, is a page of suggested questions that you could ask - and some questions that you would not normally be expected to answer.
You do not need to have expert knowledge of the field of the student‟s research or in research methods. You should not expect to give the student direction on the content of the
Project, relevant references or the design of the research.
You are not the student‟s assessor but Oxford Brookes would like confirmation that you participated in three meetings with him/her, that the student provided a satisfactory progress update, and gave a presentation that you observed. This confirmation will also require you to confirm the capacity in which you qualify to act as a mentor, i.e whether you are employer, manager, tutor or ACCA member. We would also like some confirmation that the Project is the student‟s own work. We will email all mentors with a mentor confirmation request asking you to certify that you were their project mentor. This email mentor confirmation request will be sent to you shortly after students have submitted their RAP. Details of where to send your mentor confirmation will be contained
