Welcome Students

Students (aka mentees),

Welcome to eMentor. Congratulations again on your accomplishments to date.

Please take a look around the page and familiarize yourself with the elements you can use. A brief description of each element is provided below.

Blog Layout

Each post will appear on the left-hand side of the blog, with the most recent appearing at the top of the page. To the right, there are a number of elements that have been added for your convenience. On the top right is the Wingate University School of Pharmacy logo. Clicking this image will take you to the School of Pharmacy home page. Below the logo is some information about the course and some insight into the choice of format. Below this you will see a couple tools that will allow you to receive posts via e-mail or feed reader. If you know what you're doing, go for it. If you don't know what they are, just plan on checking the blog a few times a week. Next you'll find an image of me. Clicking this picture will take you to my faculty information page on the WUSOP web site.

How it Works

I will publish a post summarizing a new topic along with any relevant readings, videos or sound clips no later than the Friday afternoon preceeding each Tuesday class discussion. During class we will have a follow-up discussion of the previous week's topic and introduce the new topic. Between the end of class on Tuesday morning and 5:00 PM on Wednesday, a number of events will take place. You will meet (very, very briefly) in your assigned group and come up with a single question related to the new topic and post this to the blog as a comment on the post. All comments on this blog are moderated by me. If I happen to receive 2 (or more) questions that are similar, I will authorize the first one (based on time/date received) and inform the other group that their question was a duplicate and ask them to come up with something else. The mentors will then comment based on the questions that have been asked. It is your job to periodically review the questions asked by your colleagues and the responses from the mentors. Your familiarity with the discussion as it ensues through the week via the blog will be the basis for our follow-up discussions.

So, here's the rundown:

Tuesday AM - class
Tuesday AM to Wednesday PM - prepare and submit a group question
Wednesday PM to Monday PM - periodically review comments on blog
Friday PM to Monday PM - check out the new topic and be prepared to discuss on Tuesday
Tuesday AM - repeat
