Help with the Winter 2022 Stats Mentorship Program - Three Positions Available
The Stats Mentorship Program is available to students enrolled in Statistics for Sociology (SOC 2205) and involves weekly in-class tutorials where students receive support from upper-year peer mentors who have successfully completed the course. Stats mentors engage with students during the learning process, help them complete calculations, and provide a source of support intended to increase confidence with the course material.
Stats mentors will have successfully completed Statistics for Sociology (SOC 2205). Completion of Advanced Quantitative Methods (SOC 3306) is considered an asset. You must be knowledgeable about the course material, empathetic and reliable. You will have strong interpersonal and communication skills, and an ability to work independently and meet deadlines.
Mentors are expected to work every Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. starting January 4. Please send your application to Dr. Jinette Comeau at jcomeau5@uwo.ca. Include a cover letter stating your interest and qualifications for the position of stats mentor, an unofficial transcript and the names and contact information of two references.
