Proposed
Timeline
During the first individual
meeting, the timeline will be discussed. Be
prepared to demonstrate and discuss when you and your mentor are in regards to
the timeline. Revisions might be
required in your timeline.
Time
Sheets: 50 Points-
These are due on a bi-weekly
basis. There is a calendar located next to the Academy Office fro you to
schedule yourself to meet with me once every two weeks.
These conferences will last about 15-20 minutes. You must work on your
project for at least 6 hours each week, and one of these six hours should be
with your mentor. Record the specifics of the activity, and be prepared to
defend its validity. Your mentor should evaluate your progress every two weeks,
sign, and comment. This makes up the
largest portion of your grade, because the quality of your project is determined
by the TIME you put into it.
Presentations:
100 points
You will make 4 major
presentations in class, throughout the course of the year. Attendance is
required during the presentations. At the time of each presentation you will
also hand in your Mentor’s Formal Evaluation of your progress and
effort to that point. A strong
relationship with your mentor is essential; that is why it is called mentoring.
Your Presence is Required at the Following:
Required Meeting of all Academy Seniors, Monday, August 24, 2009 at 7:30 AM in the Theatre.
