EETAC Tutorial Action Plan
The EETAC has had a tutorial action plan from its outset. The Plan was revised in the 2012-2013 academic year with the following general objectives:
- To offer more specialised tutorials to students.
- To have a special impact on students in the initial stage.
Three types of tutor have been established.
1. Tutor of students in the initial stage
Main functions:
- To facilitate the integration of students into the School and guide them in their training process.
- To advise first year students if their performance is low during the first semester (to tell them to focus on certain subjects, etc.)
- To advise students on enrolment, taking into account their academic performance and the academic regulations
2. Tutor of second, third and fourth year bachelor’s degree students
Main functions:
- To provide academic guidance in general.
- To advise students in the case of low performance (alpha parameter).
- To advise students on enrolment, taking into account their academic performance and the academic regulations.
- To supervise work placements.
3. Tutor of MASTEAM/MAST students
Main functions:
- To provide academic guidance in general.
- To supervise work placements.
- To provide guidance on doctoral studies.
On the first day of class in the welcome session, students are told where they can find out who their tutor is and how to contact them from the SIA - Netarea.
The tutors have detailed information on the students that they supervise and documents with guidelines on tutoring and vital information on academic regulations relating to academic management (SIA - Netflip).
In initial stage tutoring, specific activities are carried out with students in the first semester. Specifically, we have a procedure to detect students at risk of failing the first year, which includes preparing the enrolment for the second semester jointly with student and tutor.
The results of this plan are presented to the Academic Committee of the EETAC.
