Success team program: A model of mentorship
Abstract
The first year at the university can be particularly trying for students entering the difficult major of Architecture. The unusual time commitment, as well as the high standards for performance, can confound entering students. To seek excellence, and to be able to absorb criticism and revise work with that input, is a difficult working mode for freshmen to adopt. Added to this new and demanding level of expectations is the unfortunate lack of a sense of belonging. The influence of upperclassmen can be a useful tool in resetting the academic expectations level, and can help build a sense of community for these beginning design students.
