Your Mentor
In this course you will be joined by a course Mentor, who’ll be on hand to help support the discussions found at the end of most Steps:
You may like to follow their activity in the course; to do this you just need to view their profile and click the ‘Follow’ button. You will recognise them by ‘Mentor’ appearing next to their name in the comments and discussion areas. By following a profile, any comments made will appear in your activity feed, which you can filter by selecting ‘Following’. Please note, the team will do their best to answer as many questions as they can but they will not be able to respond to them all.
We want you to get the most out of this course. Use the comments section to discuss or ask questions about the course content and if you see something you like or find interesting, let your fellow Learner know by clicking on ‘Like’ or ‘Reply’ to respond to their comment. We also encourage conversation during the current Week’s activities, which is when our Educator and Mentor teams will be present to enhance your learning experience.
