Abstract
This DI will compliment the study group mentoring that is undertaken by
peer tutors. To participate in this DI a student must lead one or two study
groups in one of the Mathematics courses supported by the Math Support Center.
For each of the weeks listed above the participant in this DI will:
• Have a 50 minute discussion with Prof Dunwell on that weeks topic.
• Write a list of student behaviours they observe in the study groups that
they are leading.
• Complete a reflective activity on that week’s topic. These are listed below.
In addition to these weekly activities the DI participant will be asked to write
an essay (approximately 1500 words) on how their own understanding of a topic
in Mathematics developed. The description should use the concepts introduced
in this DI.
