Mentoring in the final project of a Bachelor in Statistics

Presenter

• María Teresa Blaconá (Argentina)

Abstract

In many degrees it is requested that students should do a final project under the guidance of a professor at the final stage of the bachelor’s program. This is the case of the bachelor program in statistics (Licenciatura en Estadística) of the School of Statistics of the National University of Rosario, Argentina. In fact, the lecturer in charge of guiding the students is not only the advisor but also the mentor, because in many cases the project consists of solving not only an academic problem but also a real-life problem with up-to-date methodologies. Therefore, the professor should help the student deal with situations that would arise in his or her professional life.
