-====== Workspace Organization & Structure ======
+====== The Student- Mentor Workspace Organization & Structure ======
 ===== Purpose =====
-This page defines the folder organization, documentation templates, and how mentors and students collaborate using shared and private spaces.
+Each student has a dedicated workspace to document progress and deliverables.
+  * **student/** is shared (student + mentor)
+  * **mentor/** is mentor-only (private notes and drafts)
 ===== Folder structure =====
-Each student has a dedicated folder with two top-level directories:
-  * **student/** → shared student↔mentor workspace (deliverables live here)
-  * **mentor/** → mentor-only notes

-===== What goes where =====
+==== Student/ ====

+===== Mentor =====
+This folder is **not for student writing**. It is for mentor-only notes and drafts. The mentor can share his notes with the student (when needed).
+=== mentor/00_meeting_notes/ ===
+**Purpose:** internal meeting records:
+  * meeting date + attendance
+  * Tasks + notes and follow-up items
+===== Note-sharing + Notification Rule =====
+Mentor notes are private by default. If the mentor wants to share feedback with a student, the mentor will place a cleaned version inside the mentor workspace and use a clear filename such as:
+  * **feedback_shared_YYYYMMDD.md**
+**Student notification requirement**
+When a student uploads new items or adds new notes (logs, notebooks, figures, drafts), the student must **email their mentor** the same day (or within 24 hours) to:
+  * confirm what was added/updated,
+  * provide the **exact path** to the new files, and
+  * List any questions or blockers.
+==== Email preparation (student → mentor) ====
+**Subject line (use one of these):**
+  * Data Skills Pathway – Update (lastname_firstname) – Week X
+  * Data Skills Pathway – New Uploads (lastname_firstname) – [date]
+**Email body (copy/paste template):**
+<code>
