**SOE Adjunct Teaching Mentor for ECON215 Health Economics** **-** **(**25000002**)**

**DESCRIPTION**

A premier university in Asia, the Singapore Management University (SMU) is internationally recognised for its world class research and distinguished teaching. Established in 2000, SMU’s mission is to generate leading edge research with global impact and to produce broad-based, creative and entrepreneurial leaders for the knowledge-based economy. It is known to be a pioneer in Singapore for its interactive and technologically-enabled pedagogy of seminar-style teaching in small class sizes which remains its unique hallmark.

The mission of the School of Economics is to accelerate the growth of SMU by creating a world-class centre of research and teaching in economics. Economic research forms a key factor in the development of SMU as a foremost academic institution in generating cutting-edge research with global impact and producing broad-based, creative and entrepreneurial leaders for the knowledge-based economy. One area of current research that several of the school's faculty members are actively engaged in concerns the economics of ageing. This research is conducted under the auspices of SMU's Centre for Research on the Economics of Ageing, which leads a $10 million multidisciplinary project on Singapore’s ageing population secured under MOE’s Tier 3 competitive grant programme.

1. Be familiar with the overall goals and basics of the SMU-X programs, the instructional lessons presented to the students as well as the course deliverables which are described in the course outlines.

2. Be familiar with the SMU-X course guide, including the policies describing the course project reporting, expense guideline and other documentation related to SMU-X courses.

3. Serve as a mentor to teams of students. Depending on the project, student teams may be required to develop a strategic business plan or consulting report for a company or organization, or create a required prototype. The role of a mentor is to assist and advise the team as it performs research, analyses data and develops appropriate strategic recommendations. This is not a typical adjunct faculty role as there is less emphasis on in-class presenting and lecturing but greater emphasis on mentoring, guiding and providing feedback.

4. Meet with their teams face-to-face for one hour weekly or as required for mentoring sessions. If ATMs are out of town, they should use other means to facilitate such consultation sessions such as Skype, WebEx etc.

6. Attend the mandatory events (including but not limited to project kickoff, midpoint/rehearsal/final presentations). Attend meetings with the SMU-X faculty (if required, especially in capstone courses with multiple sections) to discuss the course and make operational and academic decisions.

7. Read and provide written and verbal feedback on all drafts and final reports, and formal presentations of their teams, and make comprehensive comments.

8. Meet with each student individually at the program midpoint to provide oral feedback on the students’ performance to date, including suggestions for improving upon sub-par performance when necessary.

9. Coordinate with the SMU-X faculty to contact the client at least three times during the course of the project after the initial project kickoff, a mid-point review, final project presentation. Relevant feedback gathered should be shared with the SMU-X Office/School.

10. Notify the SMU-X faculty when anything unusual occurs with their assigned students, teams, companies or international sponsors.

11. Support the SMU-X faculty to ensure projects maintain standard of academic rigor set out by SMU and the SMU-X faculty.
