Please describe the best part of working on this project with your mentor.
It was really cool to have somebody with experience guiding me on this project.
The additional help and resources that were available directly from the professional world, rather than just from public access.
Please share any other academic areas where you'd like to receive help from a mentor.
Maybe in my chosen career path it would be helpful, but over all, history and this sort of academic area is the most helpful.
What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
Did a great job
Over all, my mentor was amazing! If I were to give her advice it would be to keep doing what she was doing, maybe communicate a bit more, and maybe be able to help me understand what was going on better, since I was really confused with the focus of the project.

Please describe why or why not.
I feel that I don't need it.
Over all I didn't understand the purpose of having the mentors, but they were helpful in many areas, so over all if the project guidelines were more clear, I would be willing to do this again.
Was this the first time you've been part of a formal mentoring program?

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
The emailing was sometimes difficult to do with the telementor site, you could not attach files
Understanding the project guidelines and how the mentor could help me was really difficult.
Did we miss something? If so, please share any additional comments you might have about your experience in the program.

I think the only thing that would have made it better would have been being able to communicate with others on the project, because the other mentors sometimes could have helped me, and it would be nice to be able to share and see the work of the other participants, especially on a group project like this one was.
