Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

Academic credit for participation as a peer mentor in a Scribner Seminar. Peer mentors earn credits for completing the general expectations associated with the position, including: attending all seminar classes, completing all reading assignments, participating in class discussions (when appropriate), helping the faculty with fourth-credit hour programming, completing other duties assigned by the instructor, and mentoring first-year students. Mentoring first-year students includes supporting them as they make the academic and social transition to college, meeting students outside of class, and cultivating a robust living-learning community. Faculty may choose to require a modest writing assignment or some other project in the two-credit model. In addition to the general expectations associated with the peer mentoring position described above, the expectations for the three-credit option are more rigorous, such as completing a significant research paper or project, additional readings, and/or other academic activities.
