Agreed. I imagine that the various teams will have an assigned tutor/adviser (naturally, RWBY and JAUN will both end up with Glynda).

Overall, I think that the set-up will be similar to a college course with lectures and assigned course-work/reports based on their own research and missions. The missions end will be bottom-end stuff - bootleggers, small-time crooks and the like - The students will be sent out to hunt them down and arrest them with as much force as they adjudge necessary. The adviser will be there to protect them, monitor them and, if necessary, yank them off if they get a bit too enthusiastic about 'reasonable force'.

They will probably also have the occasional combat mission too, against low-level beasties, runaway 'droids and the like. Again, the adviser will be there to protect, monitor and, if necessary pull them out.

At the end of the year, a final test will be carried out that would assess both what they've learnt and what skills they've developed. It might even be in the form of a simulated unsupported mission against a senior tutor (would the top teams have to face Ozpin himself?) acting as the aggressor for them to outwit, find and capture.
