| # Mentoring in Formal Education |
| |
| It is expected that some mentees will wish to participate in the [Mentoring Programme](mentoringprogramme.html) |
| as part of a formal education course. In these cases there will be |
| additional requirements on the process to ensure that the mentees can be |
| evaluated by their tutor. This section describes these additional |
| requirements and process. |

| ## Overview |
| |
| Projects are defined by the students tutor in consultation with the project |
| community/mentors and the student. They will need to be isolated enough |
| from other ongoing work to ensure that success/failure to deliver is not |
| dependent on someone else. They will also need to be of sufficient |
| complexity/simplicity to be a final year project. |
| |
| Tutors are responsible for the day to day management of the student. If the |
| student does not participate in the project it is not a concern of the |
| mentor. The mentor must be available for the tutor should a problem arise |
| and must be willing to mentor the tutor with respect to how they encourage |
| the students to participate |
