Responsibilities:

Your responsibilities as a technical mentor will be divided into three major tasks.

  1. 1:1 video calls
  2. Virtual TechnicalDeep-Dive Sessions
  3. Group Q&A sessions

Personal 1:1 Session:

  • Provide personalized support by addressing learner questions related to course content and projects.
  • Prior to the call mentors are expected to review the students' previous project submission(s) - provided by the Mentor Success Team when available - and/or any specific areas of the Nanodegree content or project that the student has expressed confusion or difficulty with.

Technical Deep-Dive Session:

  • For concept deep-dives, mentors will come prepared with a slide presentation that reviews a Nanodegree concept in more detail, share different use-cases for the concept to broaden student perspectives and understanding, and hold a Q&A session with the learners.
  • For project walkthroughs, a mentor will come prepared with a slide presentation that outlines each element of the rubric to help learners understand expectations and typical problem areas they may encounter. This can include a mentor “grading” a sample submission to demonstrate what mentors are looking for when reviewing projects.

Group Q&A Session:

  • Host regular sessions (via Slack or video) to address learner queries related to projects and coursework. No prior preparation required.
