Please describe the best part of working on this project with your mentor.
Easy to communicate, fairly simple
The best part would be finding all of the fascinating examples already going on in my field of interest.
I was introduced to the option of doing physiotherapy.
The best part of working on this project with my mentor was how easy it was to talk to and contact my mentor.
Having help with our projects and making a network of connections.
I learned a lot of interesting and useful new things.
The best part of working with my mentor was getting to talk about things I liked with someone who was interested.
Working with my mentor allowed for another source of information and experience as well as how you would go upon approaching problems in the industry.
The best part of this project with my mentor was talking to her about future options with a career in musical theatre.
Please share any other academic areas where you'd like to receive help from a mentor.
Any fields of engineering
Mechanical/electrical/robotic engineering and with some business experience.
I'd like to receive more help in the areas that will help most with my future career plans.
I would like to receive help from a mentor in the area of biomedical engineering and pediatrics.
graphic design
Just more focused on future planning.
I would like to receive help from my mentor with time management and how to get things done.
The academic areas I would like to receive a mentor in is Computer Science primarily and or Marketing and Business.
I don't think I need any other help in academic areas.
What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
None, Frank was very good
I would give no advice because my experience was great overall.
Try to give more help and answer all the questions that your student has. Ask deep questions for them to answer as well.
I would tell her to remind the student about what they need to focus on in school to achieve the job they want.
Okay, so I had two: Yevgeny needed to be politer and realize that I would not know his customs and should not have to oblige to them. Ronald was good and did everything right. Go Ronald.
maybe try and help them get more interested.
I would tell them to ask more questions and be more inqusitive.
I would tell my mentor keep doing what your doing and to keep a informative response while also have a real world connection like he did. But something else to add would be to keep the student focused if they arnt interested they wont respond with some of content.
I would tell her to just find a little more outside help in my career path.

Would you be interested in receiving mentoring support from professionals in the future?
1 - No
8 - Yes
Please describe why or why not.
Good to have reference from those in the field.
I enjoyed learning form a professional in my field of intrest
Yes, because I think they can really help to further my knowledge. I feel like as long as the mentor is actually IN my field that I'm interested in, it can be a really great experience.
It would help me get an idea of what i need to do to pursue that job.
I did not enjoy Telementor.
Because I think they can be very helpful and connect us to more.
Yes because I think it's a great opportunity.
Allowing for receiving experiences and knowledge from a professional is the key to plan where you want to be in the future and what you will do to get there.
I want to learn from multiple people to help further my opportunities
Was this the first time you've been part of a formal mentoring program?
2 - No
7 - Yes
Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
Finding time to work on the project outside school
Having to deciding on a final idea for the project.
My mentor didn't know how to speak English very well so there was a little bit of a language barrier. He didn't quite know what I was saying some of the time and he interpreted a lot of things wrong.
the most difficult part of working on this project was doing research
communication
There wasn'y much that got done and we didnt have that much incommon.
The most difficult part was trying to find things to talk about with my mentor.
A difficult part of the program is the inability to communicate face to face. Face to face iteration would allow for a better connection between the mentor and the student to complete tasks of knowledge and brainstorming.
I didn't really know what to talk about with my mentor or how they could help me.
Did we miss something? If so, please share any additional comments you might have about your experience in the program.

Field of interest would be nice to be asked for because I was lucky getting someone in my field of interest.
I feel like as long as the mentor is actually IN my field that I'm interested in, it can be a really great experience. My mentor wasn't in any of the fields I was interested in, and I didn't really learn anything.
No you did not miss anything.
n/a
no
No.
Everything was fine but I would enjoy if the messaging was more of a chat room then a message board or a line of emails.
