A restructuring of the directions would be much appreciated. It would be great to have columns for the student tasks and columns for the mentor tasks so that nothing gets missed. The combination of the responsibilities for the mentor and the student led to some confusion and had me questioning what I was responsible for, particularly when my student got behind or off-schedule.
Feedback regarding the quality of the student's final project as well as suggestions for improvement.
My student's final project showed definite growth from his first writings and it looked like he had indeed been thinking about all the steps of the project when putting his presentation together.

Why or why not.
I would definitely be willing to mentor a student in the future as I very much enjoyed helping my mentees. However, a restructuring of the instructions would be much appreciated.
The most rewarding aspect of participating.
It was amazing watching my mentee grow as well as help foster his excitement for his future.
The most difficult aspect of participating.
The most difficult part of the project was understanding what I was responsible for as the instructions/directions were somewhat confusing and unclear. It was particularly difficult when the student/class got behind.
