The role of the Mentor and the Mentee

The Mentor is not expected to be your tutor and must not teach you about the Research and Analysis Project (RAP). Your mentor is there to guide you and to ensure that you are meeting the required standards. Your mentor must not amend or submit your RAP for you. Also, the mentor is not expected to have specialist knowledge within your project topic area or of academic research methods. Your mentor does not play any part in the assessment of your RAP beyond the certification provided to Oxford Brookes University.

The Mentee is expected to work alone. You are recommended to read the latest Information Pack for guidance. You should not have to ask your mentor what you have to do to pass. You should not expect your mentor to give you detailed advice on the structure and content of your Research Report or to write any part of the project for you. Those decisions and actions are solely your own responsibility. Your submitted RAP must be your own work and your research must have been undertaken specifically for your RAP. You cannot take a workplace research or consultancy report and adapt it for your RAP.
