Re: Question: Team practices to promote/support academics

Our team offers to all of its members, free tutoring to those that require it. Many of the experienced team members have taken most of the core courses are school offers and assist those new members that are finding it difficult to manage time between Robotics and their schoolwork. However, we feel that it is really difficult and unecessary to divert resources into monitoring members' academic progress. Therefore, it is upto those members of the team to ask for help and is usually provided with it.
Although we do have an attendance policy in place, it is not so strict, that a member of the team would not be able to work on a project or study. The students that participate in the team, are all fully aware that they must use their own time management, and to the new members of the team, we are usually lenient.
