Tutoring the Internetworking Seminar

A tutor should be a postgraduate (doctoral) student (whose major has been Telecommunications software).

The main task of the tutor is to guide the writing process of students on topics that interest the tutor (tutors suggest the topics, too). Internetworking seminar tries to burden the tutors as less as possible with the administrative tasks, but the tutor needs to participate the grading of students because they know best their own students and their development and learning.

Please read through the material on the course webpage, especially grading instructions (when it gets ready :-)

In addition, previous "paper-writing" seminars have produced many generally useful guidepages for tutoring, grading etc. However, please note that these guides are common and guides given particularly in this seminar are primary (especially in grading).

Students will suggest on what topic they wish to write, and course staff will distribute the topics to the students.

A topic description should have following parts:

a clearly stated question or problem (5-10 lines of text). It should suggest a viewpoint to the subject, give an idea where to start from etc.
