How to use this template?

• Mentor should fork this template.
• Mentee should join in as a contributor.

This template is designed to assist Twoleaps mentorship program. The template consists of two major sections: Goals and Progress tracker. Mentors and mentee should add goals prior to start of mentorship. Both Parties should have agreement on the goals. Progress tracker is to be updated on week by week basis with new tasks to complete the defined goals. For each week, a folder in the repository has to be maintained which captures the work done. It can be a small essay of things learned or code written etc.

Giving feedback

Regular feedback is highly encouraged. Feedbacks should inspire improvement. Mentors should summarize week by week progress in form of feedback whenever possible and add it to the weekly work folder in form of week1/feedback.md
