Students often learn willingly from upper-class students or peer mentors. They feel free to ask questions they will not ask in class. The materials in this section are intended to help faculty train writing mentors, oral presentations coaches, and group discussion leaders. Student mentors and coaches usually report that assisting others has taught them new lessons as well. Well trained mentors can provide more individualized instruction than a single instructor or course leader. A community of faculty and student coaches can create a positive climate for both learning and teaching.
