How mentoring works
- A mentor for each classA class coordinator maintains the mentoring sheet for each term.
- Monthly student meetingsMentors discuss academic progress and the guidance needed by each student.
- Identify academic support needsSPI, backlogs and mid-semester performance help identify students who need additional guidance.
- Review progressMentors record weak-student GTU results and review progress in subsequent terms.
Academic guidance and follow-up
91%mentoring records include backlog guidance
659records include the detention rule
141weak musters
3,691weak student–subject entries
The presentation reports that 34% of the weak student–subject entries passed GTU in the same term. This is a student–subject measure, rather than a percentage of unique students.
Progress recorded in the mentoring study
Students with SPI below 5 who improved next term
53%
Students with SPI below 3 who improved next term
61%
Initially weak students who reached the final semester
32%
The first two percentages concern separate SPI groups. Of 509 students, 343 were weak at first mentoring; 110 of those 343 reached the final semester (32%, rounded). These observations do not by themselves establish that mentoring caused the improvements.
Student feedback and action
144facility feedback responses
307industrial-visit responses
95webinar responses
42computer-training responses
The feedback process uses a five-point Google Form, workbook analysis, identification of weaker-rated items, an action-taken report and follow-up for the next programme.
Areas covered by action reports
Wi-Fi, toilets, drinking water, sports, placement notices, greenery and cleanliness.
Entrepreneurship feedback
The Idea2Impact session recorded a mean rating of 3.81 out of 5; 65.3% of answers were rated 4 or 5.
