How we overcame difficulties:

Each group of students is assigned a mentor who will support the group through the process leading
towards the exhibition. Groups will meet with their mentors on a weekly basis or as needed. The
mentor will guide the students and help them monitor their progress, assisting them in setting new
goals. They are responsible for some aspects of student assessment. Ultimately, the students are
responsible for the completion of work.
