She helped me revise my project and gave me new and creative ideas.
It was great to hear another perspective on what someone else thought about our project
The best part with working with Byron was his supportive information he provided me and karis. I enjoyed how we both shared information about our lives to get know each other.
The best part was my mentor gave really great advice on what to do with the project, and what parts needed to be fixed. Trevor was a lot of help and tried to stay on top of things.
Taught me new ways to explain my product.
The best part was receiving information that I wouldn't even have thought of to include in my project. Also having a second mind to help in my project development was also very helpful to me.

Math or numbers help with certain questions
There is no academic areas that id like to receive help from a mentor.
N/A
learn the finance aspect part of business
Possibly in our Science PLTW Biomedical Classes. Having a mentor for students i these classes would be extremely beneficial with both students and teachers. The material covered in these classes is extremely difficult to understand sometimes, so having a professional who is able to communicate with students and teachers would be beneficial for all.
English would be a great academic area to receive help from a mentor because they can really help you with essays, especially revising them.
It would be nice to have a mentor for my core subjects (math, science, social studies, english)

What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
Some advice that I could give my mentor would be to check up on the messages more often but I understand they are very busy.
I would tell them to be blunt. What I mean is not to sugar coat things because in the end it will help our grade.
help with numbers
I would advice Byron to keep doing what hes doing, I do believe he should reply more often. But other than that, he was a great mentor and revealed great information.
Keep doing what you're doing, because you helped out a lot.
Keep the same approach really help me understand the project.

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
The most difficult part of this project with working with my mentor was if I needed quick feedback it might take a couple of days to get a message back but once they did it was very good.
Not being able to talk to them in person.
not being able to show your mentor everything you wanted to show them and it was difficult to describe all the little details you might have wanted to show them
The most difficult part of working on this project was making changes after I had already put information in.
N/A
Sometimes if either one of you were busy you wouldn't correspond for a few days.
Probably the most difficult part would have to be having to talk over email, instead of by phone or in person.
The most difficult part about working on this project with my mentor would be communicating after every thing I have worked on. Sometimes I would be so involved with my project that I would just completely blank on sending the new section to my mentor.
The most difficult part, for me, of working with my mentor was finding the time to communicate with him. I am a very busy person so I would feel bad about not being able to communicate all the time.
Understanding at some points what the mentor was trying to say.
