Meet the teamwork mentors
Teamwork Mentors are recent Rotman Commerce alumni with years of experience working in teams for courses and co-curricular activities. They can support you in developing effective teamwork skills and strategies.
Teamwork mentors work at arms-length from course instructors to provide a space for you and your team to discuss communication strategies or troubleshoot conflict. They can provide support on:
- Dividing workloads and ensuring equal contribution from each member.
- Facilitating discussions and managing conflict around team timelines, unmet expectations, or inadequate work.
- Improving communication, particularly when navigating a remote work academic environment.
- Ensuring all group members are aware of academic integrity guidelines (e.g. properly attributing sources) and following them.
- Helping team member(s) who feel left out or not included in the team.
Book an appointment with one of our Teamwork Mentors by sending an email to rotmancommerce.teamworkhelp@utoronto.ca with the course code and team number in the subject line of the email.
